Source: not sure how many of you have caught on to Joyce Manor (seen at day #552) yet but here is me saying you should cause i can’t get enough of it really. They have a new album that comes out today and since it leaked last week and i have been listening to it for Free the least i could do it post it up today.

the new album Never Hungover Again has so many different classic punk influences in it i hear. while even the band may not think it or know but i hear very distinct sounds of Seattle’s own Sicko (Christmas Card), a little Saves the Day (the Jerk), a smudge of Jawbreaker and dare i say it a lil bit of the good early Blink-182 (Heart Tatoo) as well. despite having these very pop melodic sounding parts the album doesn’t have that cheesy sound to it all and i think thats where the Jawbreaker influence comes in. balancing out the pop parts with the angst guitar parts and darker vocals that really make this a fucking enjoyable album for me.

Im not sure what it is for me that really does it for me. I mean i have seen them a few times and its just the kind of band that puts off a we are having a fun time live vibe that really puts me in the best mood. the record i think is one of those albums that didn’t jam all the good hits in the first 3 songs, so you can enjoy the whole album and not feel like there is this hit and after that it is downhill. that or the album was just poorly sequenced, but i prefer to think of it as strategic. I think they are gunna be on tour soon cause they are playing LA soon so ill post some tour dates below and a link to buy at iTunes and stream the album. and a place to buy merch too :)

I hope you guys like it. i mean feel like its safe to say that if you like half the bands on here i post up shirts for you will def like this.

Ill Say it before and ill say it again. Support good new bands or else enjoy the alternative, a lifetime of Gaga and Beiber
