Dan 'Soupy' Campbell announces solo venture, album release

Dan 'Soupy' Campbell, the lead singer of The Wonder Years, has announced that he is preparing to release a solo concept album called 'We Don't Have Eachother' under the moniker Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties. The album, produced by The Early November's Ace Enders, willbe released on July 8 via Hopeless Records.

Soupy had this to say when talking about the concept behind the record:

“Everything I had ever written lyrically up to this point had been non-fiction. I wanted to push myself to get those same emotions out of a character piece, to make a piece of fiction feel just as raw and personal as songs about my life, and so I created a man named Aaron and I set out to truly understand him. I wanted to know where his parents were from and what God he grew up knowing. I wanted to know what football team breaks his heart every December and if he has it in him to give up smoking. I wanted to know how he got here. I wanted to know how he handled tragedy.”
