Asbury Park, New Jersey Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties is the solo project of The Wonder Years frontman Dan Campbell.

According to the project's Facebook page, it is defined as "a character study conducted through music", with Campbell taking on the persona of Aaron West in each song's lyrics.

[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] 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.

The song visualizes Aaron driving with his mother to spread his father's ashes at Orchard Park.

[15][16] 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.
