Joyce Manor are back with 'All My Friends Are So Depressed', their first new music in three years. The Brett Gurewitz-produced single arrives via Epitaph alongside an accompanying video.
The track follows '40 oz. to Fresno' and a busy period that has included touring, a collaboration with Weezer, a television debut on Everybody's Live with John Mulaney performing 'Constant Headache', a placement in Season 3 of FX’s The Bear, and the 10-year anniversary of 'Never Hungover Again'.

“The first line I came up with for this song 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”, vocalist/guitarist Barry Johnson explains. “While searching for a line that rhymed with ‘lord above in a Tecate truck’ I came up with ‘why even exist? Who gives a fuck!?’ and the concept of ‘All My Friends Are So Depressed’ was born. It’s kind of my take on what I imagine Lana Del Rey lyrics are like. Instead of icy, detached cool 50’s Americana, it’s all dirty shag carpet, bong rips, Peter Frampton Comes Alive, key lime pie and suicidal ideations. My flow was inspired by 100 Gecs who I was listening to a concerning amount in 2023 (Much respect to Dylan and Laura, please take us on tour). Musically, we were drawing from The Libertines, Tiger Army, X and The Smiths… obviously.”
