Aaron West & The Roaring Twenties - In Lieu Of Flowers [CD]

"Wake me up when it's over" - Aaron WestWith the third and final installment of the Aaron West trilogy, Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties presents In Lieu Of Flowers - a concept album that must be heard in full, an album that's very existence tests the noble idea of shared communal experience, and an album that exudes humanity through the cloud of existential dread and despair. From the heart and mind of Dan Campbell (frontman of Philadelphia pop punk legends, The Wonder Years), and produced by Ace Enders (The Early November), In Lieu Of Flowers tells a story of rock bottom and redemption in the form of raw emotion, beautifully-crafted storytelling, and exquisite instrumentation. Fully-backed by The Roaring Twenties (featuring members of The Wonder Years, Driver Friendly, and Dryjacket), the project that started with a man and his guitar has transformed into a rich slice of Americana harkening to Bruce Springsteen and The Mountain Goats.
