10 Punk Bands That Released 5 Great Albums In A Row

4. Joyce Manor

Joyce Manor are the modern embodiment of old school punk. With an average album run time of about 20 minutes, the band are in and out like a flash with music that will stay with you for a lifetime. Packed with emotional brevity and nihilism, Joyce Manor are an old-school emo revival band with songs that instantly embed themselves into your mind.

Writing songs this short, catchy and dense with stories and feeling is a mean task but one that has turned Joyce Manor into absolute titans of punk music. Their five album run of Joyce Manor (2011), Of All Things I Will Soon Grow Tired (2012), Never Hungover Again (2014), Cody (2016) and Million Dollars to Kill Me (2018) tells the story of a band who have never let themselves be constrained by genre or expectations. Their newest album, Million Dollars to Kill Me is the perfect love letter to their own band.

Written at a conflicted time, the album was almost cancelled before the creation of final track (and perfect mellowed u-turn) Wildflowers. A collection of 10 flawless songs with a Beatles-esque simplicity and pop-sensibility, Joyce Manor are the kind of punk band that will never, ever let you down.
