Joyce Manor bring 'I Used to Go to This Bar' to The Fillmore Silver Spring on Dec. 10

The pop-punk lifers close out the year of their seventh album with a DC101-presented night in Silver Spring, with In Color and Edgehill opening.

Joyce Manor songs are over almost before you've found your spot on the floor — their newest album runs about 19 minutes from first note to last. On Thursday, Dec. 10, the band plays The Fillmore Silver Spring, with In Color and Edgehill opening and the show starting at 7 p.m. It was announced Oct. 26 as a DC101-presented night.

Tickets run $45–$135.70 through Ticketmaster. The room holds 2,000.

This has been a big year for the band. *I Used to Go to This Bar*, their seventh studio album, came out Jan. 30 on Epitaph, produced by Brett Gurewitz, and clocks in at 19:03. Rolling Stone framed the lead single, "Well, Whatever It Was," as the preview of their first new album in three years, and the record set up a long run on the road.

That run started with a spring North American tour with Militarie Gun, Teen Mortgage and Combat — including a Brooklyn Paramount stop in March — and kept going: Coachella in April, a headline night at The Sylvee in Madison, summer dates that included the Wisconsin State Fair, Vans Warped Tour appearances in Montreal and Mexico City, and a UK and Ireland tour in October. A December night in Silver Spring is the band coming home from a year spent almost entirely out on the road.

A 19-minute album and a year-long tour. That's the Joyce Manor math.

Brevity has always been the hook. Their songs arrive, land the chorus and get out, which makes a Joyce Manor set feel less like a concert than a sprint everyone in the room runs together. The new album leans into that, and the live show — fast, loud and over before the night has time to drag — is where it makes the most sense.

The Fillmore Silver Spring suits that. Live Nation's Montgomery County room opened Sept. 15, 2011, at 8656 Colesville Road, with Mary J. Blige christening the stage, and its floor is mostly standing room — exactly what you want for a band whose audience knows every word and has never once stood still for them. It is also Metro-accessible enough from downtown Silver Spring that a weeknight show doesn't have to wreck your Friday.

Get there for the openers. In Color and Edgehill are on the bill, and with a headliner whose set flies by, the full night is the way to go.

It's a Thursday in December. Leave the coat at home, or at least check it. You won't need it on that floor.
