"The duo deliver a faithful, but blistering cover of "Problems" alongside Matlock and Cook, with Liguz injecting her melodic vocal turn with plenty of Johnny Rotten-esque snottiness." – Rolling Stone

 “What a performance!” – Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam)

“Bags of attitude. There ain’t enough of this in the world right now.” – Mani (The Stone Roses, Primal Scream)



UK duo SSHH is joining forces with some of the most influential rhythm sections in history to come up with a collection of covers titled ISSUES – because all bands have them. The debut album from singer Sshh Liguz and guitarist Zak Starkey, also known as a drummer for Oasis and The Who and son of Ringo, includes a whole host of special guests to weave together a genre-bending strut through the last five decades of music. The first taste of ISSUES is the Sex Pistols revival “Problems,” featuring original Pistols bassist and drummer Glen Matlock and Paul Cook, respectively, and it’s certain that the rest of the Pistols would not be disappointed.

  ISSUES is a modern homage to all of the epic bands that made SSHH what they are today. The idea behind the record was simple. Zak and Sshh had been asked to do a radio series on SiriusXM, chatting through the music that has influenced them. But why not go a step further? Why not find the original rhythm sections from those bands and play with them? Why not make an album in the process?

The first call went out to Glen Matlock and Paul Cook, the bass and drums, the meat and veg of the Sex Pistols. If they were up for it, everyone would be up for it, and they were.  And thus, during the last week of November in Los Angeles, the project began. Clem Burke, Blondie’s drummer, turned up in the studio on day one to cut an unorthodox “One Way or Another”. Day two, Marilyn Manson’s rhythm men, Twiggy Ramirez and Gil Sharone, arrived for their turn. Fellow musicians Santa Davis and Fully Fullwood (of Peter Tosh’s Word, Sound and Power) also came forward and re-recorded Tosh’s original version of “Get Up Stand Up”, with an added touch from Eddie Vedder.
