One of the sharpest bands operating in the punk realm at the moment is Joyce Manor, a SoCal outfit that specializes in succinct songs that delve insightfully into the minutia of daily life. But as Steve learned when he talked to the band's singer/songwriter Barry Johnson, Joyce Manor's influence extend far beyond punk.
