That idea didn't last long, however, and the band ultimately expanded, with friends coming and going until the lineup settled down a year later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJoyce Manor\u003c\/strong\u003e return with \u003cem\u003eSongs From Northern Torrance\u003c\/em\u003e: a collection of b-sides and alternate versions of fan favorites pulled from the band's personal archives. The album kicks off with \"House Warning Party,\" a one-minute blast of lo-fi goodness that offers a glimpse into the band's humble beginnings as a two-piece folk-punk outfit. Lyrics of suburban angst forge with upbeat drums and swift, jangly guitars that make it impossible to not bounce your head along to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a band who have come to define West Coast indie-punk, \u003cstrong\u003eJoyce Manor\u003c\/strong\u003e remains one of the most popular bands in the genre and this track is a rarity their fans will surely love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Epitaph","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50464132858187,"sku":"1101325","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/d6d9ae5f-d46d-4080-bdfb-854ec3aedfe1_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727270898","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/songs-from-northern-torrance","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
