Joyce Manor Return with All My Friends Are Depressed

August 18, 2025 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I have to cop to being only a part-time Joyce Manor fan; they have some bangers for sure, but occasionally they go over my head. This new single, however, had me instantly, with a guitar line that I thought was going to take them to a Go-Betweens-esque pop punk jam…and to be fair…that is what it is. That said, the easier nod would be to pull in some Johnny Marr comparisons, and the vocals also have that swaying croon that creeps right into that same arena. It’s nice to see some of the blends between the two-genres, as that sort of soft indiepop and punk all share history. Hoping we hear more like this from the group!

New Split from Joyce Manor and Toys That Kill

November 21, 2014 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Some bands just get a bad rap, and you know what, shame on me. I always lumped Joyce Manor, and Toys That Kill for that matter, in that late-wave emo punk genre. I was a second wave emo kid, so I really just discarded it by and large, but I just got in their new split for Recess Records, and these are just some really good rocking tunes. Honestly, I don’t even know if I’d got so far as to call them punk rock; the TTK tune almost sounds like a bar band approach to the garage stylings of Jay Reatard. Enough about me and my half-ass assumptions; stream these two jams.

October 31, 2012 RayRay Leave a comment

Date	11/1/12
Location	Mohawk
Doors	7pm
Tickets	FREE with FFFfest wristband

Well now this ladies and gentlemen is one hell of a show we’ve got going down in Austin on Thursday night at the Mohawk. Our headliner for the evening is legendary band Superchunk on the outside stage. That alone should be enough for most of you, but let’s also mention that supporting outside bands are Imperial Teen and Joyce Manor so that should sweeten the deal. Oh and you’ve also got some awesome up and coming bands playing the inside stage known as Terrible Feelings, Mind Spiders, Wiccans, and The Impalers. I wish could say that’s all folks, but also remember that the entire show is FREE with your Fun Fest wristband. Thanks you Mohawk and thank you Transmission. You rule.
