Formed in Long Beach, CA in 2008, Joyce Manor is crunchy, catchy pop-punk that s so good it s almost a guilty pleasure. This four-piece band plays in their own style of easily likeable Jawbreaker-esque punk complete with driving bass lines, gang vocals, and bright guitars. Although definitely a departure from the hardcore that 6131 Records is known for, Joyce Manor s self-titled album will no doubt secure the label s growing reputation as having an ear for up-and-coming music. After hearing their demo, 6131 said, there was no way we could not work with them, and once you give a listen to Joyce Manor, you ll understand exactly what they meant.
