Aaron West And The Roaring Twenties have unleashed their latest single, “Whiplash,” a somber turning point for the 16-person ensemble’s forthcoming full-length In Lieu Of Flowers. The 11-track record will arrive on April 12 and can be pre-ordered here.
Opening through an array of gentle, melancholy instrumentation, Dan Campbell’s (The Wonder Years) vocals pierce through the cacophony of sound. The track lives up to its name, acting as a breaking point for the group’s titular character as he faces his struggles with alcohol, and his developing story arc following the release of the band’s previous release, “Alone At St. Luke’s.” Listen to “Whiplash” below.
Aaron West And The Roaring Twenties will support the release of In Lieu Of Flowers on the road this spring, kicking off on April 25 in Denver, CO with Clementine Was Right and Cliff Morgan joining the group on the road. The band will then make their way overseas beginning on May 17 in Manchester, UK, with Future Teens and Dryjacket. Future Teens and Maura Weaver will then join Aaron West on the second half of their U.S. tour as support in June. Check out the full list of dates below and grab your tickets here.
