Never Hungover Again is the third album (I hesitate to call anything nineteen minutes long an “LP”) by California punk band Joyce Manor. This is a record that positively reeks of suburban SoCal, from the bored kids getting bad tattoos to “Heated Swimming Pool.” Since the longest of its ten songs is 2:28, I’ve decided to write a review that emulates the brevity of the record.

Non-political melodic punk rock. Weezer with attention deficit disorder. Epitaph meets channel ORANGE.

For the self-pitying, unconsciously privileged white suburban teen in everyone.
