Joyce Manor, formed in 2008 in Torrance, California, initially played acoustic folk-punk before evolving with a full lineup and releasing their self-titled debut in 2011, which gained popularity through online word-of-mouth. Their 2014 album Never Hungover Again earned critical acclaim, cementing their place in the pop-punk and emo revival scene, and was followed by Cody (2016) and Million Dollars to Kill Me (2018). After a brief hiatus during the pandemic, the band returned with 40 oz. to Fresno (2022) and continued to tour with acts like PUP and Weezer.
