Joyce Manor by Dan Monick 

On January 6, 2026- Joyce Manor released their brand new single “I Know Where Mark Chen Lives” alongside an official music video. The band will also be releasing their new album I Used To Go To This Bar on January 30 via Epitaph Records. The music video is black and white which makes me think that they want people to focus more on the lyricism and gives more of a punk rock vibe as well. It’s a catchy single that has explosive energy to it that will leave listeners wanting more!

“Mark Chen was a singer and songwriter for the bands Summer Vacation and Winter Break, which didn’t get quite as popular as they deserved to. I just love Mark’s songwriting and voice. Lyrically, the song was inspired by Chase and I hanging out, drinking and smoking weed and laughing about stuff, and we were talking about how when weed clubs first started, they’d give you a free dab and the budtender would do a dab with you. Dabs are insanely gnarly. I was cracking myself up imagining some 19-year-old girl that just did her third dab of the hour before getting robbed at gunpoint, because they’d always get robbed as cash businesses. That’s the imagery of the song: Those early days when weed was still not super fully legal. It was like the Wild West, a little bit. And yeah, that just gave me a chuckle because it’s really dark and brutal.” – Barry Johnson
