JOYCE MANOR – I USED TO GO TO THIS BAR – ALBUM REVIEW
In a serious world that has truly lost its mind, it’s sometimes nice just to lose yourself something silly and fun. Well, perfect timing for the latest Joyce Manor album to arrive then!
A nostalgic record both in tone and tune, ‘I Used To Go To This Bar’ would’ve fit in easily in the early 2000’s. Working with Bad Religion’s Brett Gurewitz, this is regular programming for the band but with enough vibrancy to keep things interesting.
A bit of country twang, some emo angst and plenty of scrummy hooks will keep your dependable love of the band alive and provide you with that touched upon much needed escape from the realities of modern life.
WATCH THE VIDEO FOR ‘ALL MY FRIENDS ARE SO DEPRESSED’
‘All My Friends Are So Depressed’ and ‘Well, Whatever It Was’ lead the charge but altogether these are another nine solid pop punk tracks. No ground is being broken but sometimes that’s absolutely fine.
Given the typically short duration of the record, you will happily be able to spend some time with these tracks and when you do they will etch themselves into your head.
