SoCal punk trio to bring headlining tour to Phoenix

Joyce Manor, the Southern California-based punk trio, will open up their 2026 tour in Phoenix.

In anticipation of their new album, “I Used To Go To This Bar,” due out Jan. 30, the band will pay a visit to The Van Buren on Monday, March 9.

Tickets available at joyce-manor.com/tour.

“I Used To Go To This Bar,” was produced by SoCal punk legend Brett Gurewitz (Bad Religion, Epitaph Records CEO), and follows the release of 2023’s “40 oz. to Fresno,” a record that The New York Times praised as “a relentlessly tuneful 17-minute collection of all-killer, no-filler power-pop.”

The Torrance, California, trio consists of Barry Johnson, Chase Knobbe and Matt Ebert.

Work on the new record began in early 2023, with a creative team assembled after Johnson brought an early mix of first single “All My Friends Are So Depressed” to Gurewitz.

“I’ve been extremely proud of Joyce Manor since we signed them, and Barry and I have always had an excellent working relationship together,” Gurewitz shared in a press release. “I loved the song, but I could hear it done in a totally different way. He said, ‘Well, would you ever consider producing a single for us?’ And I was like, ‘Dude, I would love to.’”
