Joyce Manor - I Used To Go To This Bar

Joyce Manor are California pop-punk legends and I Used To Go To This Bar is this epochal band operating at the top of their game.

They continue to deliver relentlessly satisfying rock music in a manner that makes it look simply effortless. The Torrance, California- hailing trio of Barry Johnson, Chase Knobbe, and Matt Ebert are at a point in their career where their posi tion as one of the most beloved rock bands is a foregone conclusion.

Their seventh album finds the group continuing to find rich new veins to tap in their short- and sweet songcraft without losing an ounce of bite that gained them such repute in the first place. I Used To Go To This Bar further situates Joyce Manor in the rich lineage of their influences and inspirations. Think AFI's rapid-fire burn, Weezer's indelible power-pop acumen, and the dusky emotionalism of The Smiths while further establishing them as leading lights in the current rock landscape.

The fresh burst of inspiration that fuels I Used To Go To This Bar proves that Joyce Manor are far from content to rest on such laurels, moving forward with their sound and style in a way that reminds you of how they got to this point in the first place.
