Joyce Manor originated out of Torrance, California , part of the longstanding punk rock scene in the state . Guitarists Barry Johnson and Chase Knobbe first met and bonded in late 2008, and decided to form a band on a trip to Disneyland . The band’s name came from an apartment building Johnson would pass on walks. The duo adopted an acoustic, folk-punk sound, and began playing house shows; their first gig was opening for Andrew Jackson Jihad . Their sound evolved upon adding bassist Matt Ebert and drummer Kurt Walcher in 2009, and they began releasing demos.
