Joyce Manor latest album, I Used to Go to That Bar, was produced by Epitaph Records founder and Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz, who’s produced classic Epitaph releases by Rancid, NOFX, Pennywise, L7, his own band, and more.
Brett signed on to produce the album after first producing its recently-released first single “All My Friends Are So Depressed.”
The album was mixed by Tony Hoffer, who also mixed Never Hungover Again, and there’s contributions on several songs from mix engineer Tom Lord-Alge, who worked on Barry’s beloved Enema of the State. Having gone through a handful of different drummers over the years, they made this album with three different drummers: their current touring drummer Jared Shavelson (Paint It Black, The Hope Conspiracy), Social Distortion’s David Hidalgo Jr., and Joey Waronker (Thom Yorke, Beck, Roger Waters, Oasis).
“Over the last 16 years, it’s very much felt like the three of us have this chemistry of playing music together,” says bassist/backing vocalist Matt Ebert, “and we have this pattern of drummers not staying around for too long. It made sense to forge forward as the three of us and figure out the drummer situation as we go.”
While the jangly “All My Friends Are So Depressed” pulled influence from The Libertines, Tiger Army, X, and The Smiths, Barry says the just-released single “Well, Whatever It Was” 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 Waronker’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.”
The song comes with a Lance Bangs-produced/directed music video that parodies The Great British Bake Off. It stars Joyce Manor themselves as contestants in The UK Rock Bake Off, with a cast of comedians and fellow musicians portraying Robert Smith, Noel & Liam Gallagher, Morrissey, and Kate Bush as the other contestants. Brett Gurewitz makes a cameo as well. Like “All My Friends Are So Depressed,” this song is on the lighter side for Joyce Manor–Barry’s namedrops should give you a good idea of what to expect–but it still sounds unmistakably like no other band.
