Joyce Manor Bring I Used To Go To This Bar Tour to the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver
On May 11th, American punk rock band Joyce Manor brought their I Used To Go To This Bar Tour to the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver for a high-energy, jam-packed set.
The punk rock band from Torrance, California, was formed in 2008. Known for their fast, emotionally charged songs and energetic live shows, they became a major influence in modern emo and pop-punk with albums like Never Hungover Again and 40 oz. to Fresno.
Taking the stage at 9:45 pm, Joyce Manor ran through an impressive 24-song set, jumping into hit after hit, with little downtime. The band kept the energy in the room throughout the night, with lots of moshing and crowdsurfing, especially in their hits “Catalina Fight Song”, “Heart Tattoo,” and “Constant Headache.”
Between the mayhem, the band’s songs evoke a deep sense of nostalgia, capturing the feeling of past heartbreak and growing up. Barry Johnson’s emotionally charged vocals, paired with the band’s raw, unfiltered guitar sound, have a way of making you get into your feelings.
The 24-song set allowed Joyce Manor to premiere a lot of their new material from I Used To Go To This Bar, while ripping through some of their biggest hits on cult favourites, Never Hungover Again and Joyce Manor, leaving something for everyone to enjoy.
