Property of Zack recently sat down for an interview with JOYCE MANOR frontman Barry Johnson, who discusses their upcoming album “Of All Things I Will Soon Grow Tired“ and new song called “Violent Inside”.
Johnson states:
People were like “What’s up with that album cover, dude?” and saying I should’ve waited a year to write more songs. It’s like, “Holy shit, you haven’t even heard the record yet. Calm down.” I know you don’t want to like it, that’s fine. It’s hilarious. They haven’t even heard any of it, but they’re like, “How dare these guys.” [Laughs.] With how our first record went over, it was fully inevitable. We’re playing pop-punk. It’s not that rare to—everyone loves a pop-punk band, you know? I kind of saw that coming and I’m glad that all four of us were like, “Oh shit! It’s going to be embarrassing to like our band in about a year.” I knew that was coming. That’s great—that’s fucking awesome. I love it. And there are these dudes that think they are so cool and they can just go onto the next flavor of the month. Whatever punk band they’re gonna get into. It’s cool; I like the backlash. It’s nice there’s something you can count on in this world.
