Joyce Manor - I Used To Go To This Bar
Joyce Manor may have softened their sound if you compare their recent work to the raucous pop-punk of their debut, but the songs still hit equally hard.

Punk veterans Good Riddance are excited to announce their 10th studio album Before The World Caves In, set to be released on March 27th via Fat Wreck Chords. Check out lead single “There’s Still Tonight” now.
The band shares: “We’re hopeful that the album comes across with the severity and urgency of the times we are living in. As our 10th studio album, we wanted to make sure we were firing on all cylinders, delivering something potent, strident, and something that both longtime fans and people who are brand new to the band could sink their teeth into.”
Columbus, OH 3-piece Palette Knife’s upcoming LP “Keyframe” will drop on April 10th. The Billy Mannino mixed (Oso Oso, Macseal, Ben Quad) LP blends the song writing decisiveness of PUP & the absolute explosive choruses of Hot Mulligan. You’ll get what I mean on the opening buzzsaw of a track in “Phoenix Down”, where the band builds an instrumental wall of sound for the first minute thirty, then breaks into a plethora of hooks on hooks for the remaining half of the song.
Equal Vision Records and Endpoint have announced the Friday, February 27 release of After Taste (Deluxe Edition), a fully remixed and remastered, 18-track expanded version of the influential Louisville, KY hardcore band’s 1993 album. When it was first released, After Taste was widely considered a “departure” for Endpoint. It’s slower, they said. It’s more melodic and less political.
British punks Grade 2 wrestle with a whirlwind coming-of-age on their rollercoaster fourth album Talk About It, set for release on April 3rd via Hellcat Records. Frontman Sid Ryan, guitarist Jack Chatfield, and drummer Jacob Hull bring over a decade of experience to the table, crafting an album that's both a reflection of their personal struggles and a rallying cry for a generation.
Koyo are back with the announcement of their sophomore album, Barely Here, arriving May 8th via Pure Noise Records. Clocking in at ten songs in just 28 minutes, Barely Here is a lean blast of incredibly anthemic punk. All of the band's familiar Long Island DNA is there (the firecracker guts of The Movielife, the widescreen hooks of Taking Back Sunday, the tuneful grit of Silent Majority) but the sound of Koyo themselves shines through more than ever.
In 2024, Hedge made a huge introduction to the punk scene with the release of their outstanding debut album titled Better Days. The Western Mass trio, that includes Christopher Chaisson formerly of The Young Leaves, take cues from their fellow compatriots Dinosaur Jr. and The Lemonheads while adding a little more punk flare in the vein of Husker Du and early Blink-182. Most of their songs barely hit the two-minute mark and explode with melodies.
Codefendants, the punk trio consisting of Sam King (Get Dead), Julio “Ceschi” Ramos, and NOFX mastermind and producer Fat Mike, have announced their forthcoming studio album “LIFERS,” set for release April 3. The trio teamed up with hip hop legend The D.O.C. on their new single “Rivals,” out now. The D.O.C. is known for his frequent collaborations and songwriting for N.W.A, Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre, with credits on Dre’s first album The Chronic.
One of the foundational bands of the 1990s pop-punk explosion, Squirtgun’s Ghostly Sunflowers 12” single on Pirates Press Records represents their first new studio recordings in over 20 years!
Founded in 1993 by brothers Flav & Mass Giorgini, Squirtgun were one of the premiere pop-punk bands of the 1990s, releasing records with legendary Bay Area labels Lookout! Records and Fat Wreck Chords, and perhaps best known by the average moviegoer for their song “Social” playing over the opening credits to Kevin Smith’s Mallrats.
Boston post-hardcore band THE SADDEST LANDSCAPE have been perfecting their balance of frantic hardcore and cathartic vulnerability for over 20 years and return with a double gatefold LP. Alone With Heaven is their first full-length record in over 10 years. It's also one of the last recordings that the late and legendary Steve Albini worked on before he passed. The album arrives April 24 via Iodine Recordings.
Today, the band shares the first single "From Home They Run."
