ANNUNCIANO IL NUOVO ALBUM ‘I USED TO GO TO THIS BAR’ IN USCITA IL 30 GENNAIO SU EPITAPH.

Band announce their anticipated new album, due January 30, 2026 via Epitaph Records. Alongside the announcement the band shares a Lance Bangs-directed video for lead single ‘Well, Whatever It Was’ that parodies The Great British Bake Off featuring a cast of comedians and musicians playing UK rockstars. Additionally, the band is announcing a 2026 headline tour in support of the album.

“Song has got to be one of the most Southern California sounding songs ever recorded. I hear Jane’s Addiction in the verses, Beach Boys / Weezer in the chorus, and RHCP in the outro. It was LITERALLY produced by the guy from Bad Religion FFS. Everyone was just firing on all cylinders for this one. Joey Warnoker’s drumming, TLA’s mix, and Lenny Castro’s percussion all just sent it to the end-zone. This song would go insanely hard in a Shrek film” says Barry Johnson.

Album is produced by SoCal punk legend Brett Gurewitz (Bad Religion, Epitaph Records CEO), finds the epochal band operating at the top of their game. The Torrance, CA trio of Barry Johnson, Chase Knobbe, and Matt Ebert continue 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. Release further situates group in the 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. Joyce Manor will be touring in Europe and UK this month. Please see below for the full list of dates:

LP 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. “Joyce Manor are a quintessential South Bay punk band” Gurewitz says while talking about the band’s importance to the landscape as large. “But unlike their peers they’re writing timeless songs for the American Songbook. If Barry was a novelist, he’d be Ernest Hemingway. To me, they’re among the most important bands of the last two decades.” And 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.
