How South Bay’s Unique Mix Influenced Joyce Manor’s Lasting Pop-Punk Style

Joyce Manor has unveiled their seventh album, titled “I Used to Go to This Bar,” which is set for release this month. The album is produced by Brett Gurewitz of Bad Religion, adding a significant touch to the band’s sound.

The South Bay pop-punk icons delve into themes of economic anxiety and suburban alienation, drawing on their experiences growing up in Torrance and Long Beach. These topics reflect a deeper connection to their roots, capturing the nuances of modern life.

Having spent nearly two decades in the music scene and recently touring alongside Weezer, Joyce Manor will also be making their mark at Coachella this spring, further solidifying their status in the industry.
