Joyce Manor Return With “All My Friends Are So Depressed” After Three-Year Hiatus
Everyone’s favorite pop-punkers, Joyce Manor, are back with their first new song in three years. The surprise single, “All My Friends Are So Depressed,” is out now via Epitaph Records, blending influences as unlikely as The Smiths and hyperpop duo 100 Gecs.
Vocalist/guitarist Barry Johnson shared the unusual spark behind the track:
“The first line I came up with was ‘Lord Above in a Tecate Truck’ after passing a Tecate delivery truck with Jesus shit all over it on the freeway driving back to Long Beach after a show in Fresno. While searching for a line that rhymed, I came up with, ‘Why even exist? Who gives a fuck!?’ and the concept of ‘All My Friends Are So Depressed’ was born.”
Johnson described the lyrics as his take on a Lana Del Rey-inspired world, but filtered through Joyce Manor’s scrappy punk lens:
“Instead of icy, detached cool ’50s Americana, it’s all dirty shag carpet, bong rips, Peter Frampton Comes Alive, key lime pie, and suicidal ideations.”
He also revealed that his flow was heavily influenced by 100 Gecs:
“I was listening to a concerning amount in 2023. Much respect to Dylan and Laura — please take us on tour.”
On the musical side, the band looked to The Libertines, Tiger Army, X, and The Smiths.
Accompanying the single is a fittingly chaotic video directed by Jaxon Whittington and Barry Johnson, perfectly matching the track’s high-energy blend of punk grit and eccentric humor.
