Joyce Manor - Million Dollars To Kill Me Vinyl Record

Sharp, smart, and just the right amount of sentimental, Million Dollars to Kill Me finds Joyce Manor leveling up their sound without losing an ounce of bite.

Originally released in 2018, this LP brims with punk energy and melodic hooks, delivered with the band’s trademark urgency and lyrical wit.

The album features standouts like “Think I’m Still in Love With You,” “Big Lie,” and the title track “Million Dollars to Kill Me,” each clocking in fast but hitting hard. There’s a newfound polish in the production—credit a tighter lineup featuring new drummer Pat Ware—but the band still thrives on that infectious balance of garage grit and pop clarity.

Frontman Barry Johnson’s songwriting shines throughout, shaped in part by a long-distance collaboration with one of his own musical heroes. Tracks like “Fighting Kangaroo” and “Friends We Met Online” are compact, punchy anthems that combine the intimacy of bedroom demos with the force of a live band in full swing.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering them fresh, this LP is a tight, thrilling ride from start to finish. Million Dollars to Kill Me proves Joyce Manor doesn’t just write short songs—they write unforgettable ones. Black vinyl, zero filler, all heart.
