Joyce Manor: 15 Years to Rock Radio Stardom

Joyce Manor, a popular punk band from Torrance, California, has achieved their first significant radio success nearly 15 years into their career. The single "All My Friends Are So Depressed" has become a hit, reaching the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart. This breakthrough comes after years of consistent touring and releasing music, solidifying their status within the punk and emo scenes.

The band recently collaborated with producer Brett Gurewitz, known for his work with Bad Religion and Epitaph Records, on their upcoming album, "I Used To Go to This Bar." Gurewitz's production on "Depressed" brought a cleaner, more radio-friendly sound that resonated with the band and fans alike. This marks a new chapter for Joyce Manor, aiming for a more polished yet characteristically concise release.

Their recent surge in popularity is also attributed to a robust live presence and strategic growth, including performances with major acts like Weezer. Managers anticipate Joyce Manor headlining larger venues in the future, reflecting their steady trajectory and increasing maturity as a band, with frontman Barry Johnson embracing a gradual ascent to stardom.
