Cue the constant headache — Joyce Manor is back. The SoCal pop rockers have announced their first album in three years and its title is steeped in nostalgia. I Used to Go to This Bar arrives early next year, on Jan. 30, 2026 via Epitaph Records.
The band — guitarist Barry Johnson, guitarist Chase Knobbe, and bassist Matt Ebert — tapped SoCal legend and Bad Religion co-founder Brett Gurewitz to produce the new LP. “When it comes to our musical DNA, he’s one of the architects of everything we grew up on,” Johnson said about Gurewitz in a statement. “Having him guide our record helped us make something that we could put next to those classic records that shaped us,” Johnson added.

“I always try to work fast and keep things creative and fun,” Gurewitz said in a statement. That vivacious energy is palpable on Joyce Manor’s new song “Well, Whatever It Was.” A beachy thrum about being down and out, the track comes with a playful music video that parodies The Great British Bake Off.
“Everyone was just firing on all cylinders for this one. Joey Warnoker’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,” Johnson said of the song.
In addition to announcing their seventh studio album, Joyce Manor also shared the news of their upcoming tour. The band will hit the U.K. this fall and take I Used to Go to This Bar on the road in the U.S. next spring. Additional tour information is available on their website.
Last year, Joyce Manor celebrated the 10th anniversary of their seminal pop-punk record Never Hungover Again with a five-show celebration. During the Los Angeles show, Mark Hoppus even came out to perform Joyce Manor’s fan-favorite “Heart Tattoo.”
Joyce Manor are also set to perform during Coachella 2026.
