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 position as one of the most beloved rock bands is a foregone conclusion. Their seventh album, produced by Brett Gurewitz (of Bad Religion and Epitaph Records CEO) 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.
A bustle of activity that followed the release of 2022's excellent 40 Oz. to Fresno and included an instantly memorable appearance on John Mulaney's Everybody's in L.A. and a retrospective assessment of the group's seminal 2011 self-titled debut as part of Pitchfork's esteemed Sunday Review series. The band's had a whirlwind touring schedule over the last few years, which has included an outing with Weezer and multiple sold-out shows at the legendary California venues Hollywood Palladium (including a guest performance by Mark Hoppus for the fan favorite "Heart Tattoo") and Long Beach Arena.
This new record retains the band's penchant for punchy hooks while sounding fuller, more in-your-face, and all-around bigger than ever, with an all-star crew of collaborators along for this wild ride. Along with mixing pro Tony Hoffer (M83, Beck), behind-the-boards legend Tom Lord-Alge lent his Enema of the State engineer magic to several I Used To Go To This Bar cuts, including the first single "All My Friends Are So Depressed." The album also features a rotating cast of drummers, including touring drummer Jared Shavelson, Social Distortion's David Hildago, Jr., and Joey Waronker-the latter of whom is currently hitting the skins for Oasis' reunion tour.
I Used To Go To This Bar feels like a true culmination of everything Joyce Manor's achieved thus far, further cementing their current legacy as California pop-punk royalty as well as a truly generational punk band at large.
