History

We Don't Have Each Other (2014–15)

Main article: We Don't Have Each Other

The Wonder Years frontman Dan Campbell began the project on May 22, 2014, via a video released by Hopeless Records titled "Aaron West and The Roaring Twenties - An Introduction To Aaron West".[1] With this project, Campbell pushed himself "to make a piece of fiction feel just as raw and personal as songs about my life".[1] Campbell released the projects debut song, "Divorce and the American South", via The A.V. Club.[2] "You Ain't No Saint" was released as a single on May 27.[3] "Divorce and the American South" was released as a single on June 10.[4] The project's first album, We Don't Have Each Other, was released on July 8 through Hopeless.[5] The album received primarily positive reviews, with Alternative Press giving it a rating of 4.5/5.[6] On November 19, West released a music video for the song "Our Apartment" via Billboard.[7] Campbell performed his project on five of the 2014 Vans Warped Tour dates.[1] On March 4, 2015, it was announced that Campbell would be performing his project on all of the 2015 Warped Tour dates, on the acoustic basement stage.[8]

The album is a concept record detailing the worst year of Aaron's life from start to finish. The album consists of 9 original songs and 1 cover song, "Going to Georgia" by The Mountain Goats. Campbell is said to have added the song to the album not because the song continued the story, but simply because he liked the song.

Bittersweet and Orchard Park (2016–18)

Main article: Bittersweet (Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties EP)

On March 25, 2016, it was announced that an EP, titled Bittersweet, would be released on May 20.[9] The EP's cover art and track listing was revealed, and one song on the EP, "'67, Cherry Red", was made available for streaming.[9] The release of the EP features vinyl pressings on three different colors, Green, Blue, and Red, attributing to the songs "Green Like the G Train, Green Like Sea Foam", "Goodbye, Carolina Blues", and "'67, Cherry Red" respectively.[10]

"Orchard Park" was released on October 5, 2017 as a non-album single. The song visualizes Aaron driving with his mother to spread his father's ashes at Orchard Park.

Routine Maintenance and live album (2019–20)

Main article: Routine Maintenance (album)

The project's second LP, titled Routine Maintenance, was officially announced on March 18, 2019 and was given a projected release date of May 10.[11]

In January 2020, Campbell announced a UK tour that was scheduled to begin in May of that year.[12] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tour was rescheduled for August 2021 but later cancelled and rebooked for May 2022.[13] When the tour happened in 2022, Nick caught COVID-19 after 4 shows which resulted in the band except Dan to go home resulting in the remaining 3 shows to be solo shows.

On July 31, 2020, the project released Live From Asbury Park, created from recordings of two December 2019 live performances.[14]

In Lieu of Flowers (2024–present)

The project's third LP, titled In Lieu of Flowers, was officially announced on the projects Facebook page on January 11th, 2024 and given a projected release date of April 12th. On January 24th the project announced a tour spanning the United States and the United Kingdom, with a record release show on April 11th in Asbury Park, NJ.[15][16]

Style and influences

Timothy Monger of AllMusic wrote that the project "blended the passion and aggression of pop punk with more of an Americana and roots aesthetic."[17]

Campbell said in an interview with Rock Sound that he was inspired by The Mountain Goats' All Hail West Texas and The Weakerthans' Reunion Tour, and the artists' ability to create "such real, whole characters that I found myself invested in their lives and their stories."[18]
