Episode 83: Matt Ebert, Barry Johnson & Chase Knobbe – Joyce Manor

Trusty Chords

Show Notes

If there's one thing that you need to know about Joyce Manor, it's that every time they release a new album, their fans are in for a good time.

In fact, I've been saying that for well over a decade now, having followed the Californian outfit since the release of their second album, 'Of All Things I Will Soon Grow Tired,' back in 2012.

In the time since, they've released four more albums, a few more split EPs, myriad singles and music videos, and toured the world on numerous occasions. Not bad for a little group that kicked off rather quietly back in 2008.

Now, 18 years into their storied career, Joyce Manor are back with their latest album, 'I Used To Go To This Bar.' For diehard fans of the group, it's exactly what you want out of a record from Joyce Manor, with that frenetic sense of energy and power being paired with their stellar lyrics and inimitable knack for writing a killer tune.

This week, I was lucky enough to have a chat with not just one, but all three members of Joyce Manor, with Matt Ebert, Barry Johnson, and Chase Knobbe joining for what may actually be my favourite episode I've recorded to date.

Anyway, I'll let you be the judge of that from a listener's perspective. So in the meantime, have a listen to Joyce Manor's 'I Used To Go To This Bar,' have a listen to our chat, and I’ll see you at the end of the episode for some general housekeeping.
