Recording notes

From I Used to Go to This Bar (2026). I Used to Go to This Bar is the seventh studio album by American rock band Joyce Manor, released on January 30, 2026, by Epitaph Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Jaguar through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Joyce Manor's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
