Album Review: Joyce Manor - Never Hungover

Like some sort of punk rock Rain Man, Joyce Manor have scattered their influences on the floor and diligently counted each one for their latest release.

Sounding at once like the best bands of the rock’n’roll era and your drunken next-door neighbours practicing their damn rock music again, the LA punks smash through ten tracks of sprawling, beat-down rock. There’s a dash of surf-rock in the guitar work and a handful of synth lines that really bring the upbeat attitude out of the over-distorted atmosphere. Never Hungover Again is the soundtrack to all your punk-drunk parties.
