Joyce Manor is an American band from Torrance, California, formed in 2008.[3][4] The band consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Barry Johnson, guitarist Chase Knobbe, drummer Jeff Enzor and bassist and back-up vocalist Matt Ebert.[5]

Background

The idea for the name "Joyce Manor" was thought of by Lee Hartney, it came from the name of an apartment building by Johnson's house.[4] Joyce Manor was originally a duo group with Barry and Chase, which they thought of while drunk at Disneyland. Joyce Manor released a split 7" with Summer Vacation in the fall of 2010 via Muy Autentico Records.

They joined 6131 Records in 2010. Their self-titled, full-length debut was released in 2011 to a host of critical and fan praise. Punknews named it their "2011 Album of the Year" and it landed the band on many year-end best-of lists.[6] Joyce Manor moved over to Asian Man Records for their next album, Of All Things I Will Soon Grow Tired, released in April 2012. This album contains a cover of The Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star".[7]

Joyce Manor signed with Epitaph Records to release their third album Never Hungover Again, which was released on 22 July 2014.[8][9] The album was produced by Joe Reinhardt[10] and it features Frances Quinlan from the band Hop Along on the cover.[11]

The band received attention within the indie and punk communities for its stance against stage diving after the band interrupted several sets to call out stage divers.[12][13]

In the fall of 2014, drummer Kurt Walcher was replaced by Jeff Enzor of Torrance, CA band Merry Christmas.
