The act of facing one’s deepest fears and flaws through music has been a cornerstone of Aaron West and The Roaring Twenties, a project adept at spinning tales that entwine with catchy, anthemic sounds. The brainchild of Dan Campbell, this narrative-driven venture tugs at the heartstrings with its rich, character-driven storytelling and resonant themes.
- The Setting: The grimy streets of Glasgow, a canvas for Aaron’s fall and rise, set the stage for self-realization and the consequences of running from one’s past.
- The Conflict: Heartfelt songs such as ‘Paying Bills At The End Of The World’ and ‘Alone At St. Luke’s’ encapsulate the struggle of facing a pandemic, confronting alcoholism, and finding solace amidst chaos.
- The Revelation: ‘In Lieu Of Flowers’ not only underscores a triumphant return to the stage but also serves as a sonic exploration of Aaron’s battle with addiction and the quest for meaning.
