Paradise
from Another Year by Boardroom Heroes
-
Record/Vinyl + Digital AlbumAnother Year, the second full length from Boardroom Heroes, was originally released on June 5, 2012. We’re extremely excited to bring this to vinyl for the first time (10 years later).
For me, this album holds up incredibly well - maybe because even in 2012, Another Year still felt like a throw-back to a different era. When I listen to “Pieces” or “Elephant” - I’m transported back to the places I got to see the band play like the Trash Bar or the Velvet Lounge… but also back to my neighbor’s driveway skatepark in the late-90s.
I remember feeling an immediate kinship with Gu and Dre (and subsequently, Stephen, Drew and Nick) - just based on their music alone - because it’s so clear that they also grew up on a steady diet of the Epitaph and Fat Wreck catalogs. Another Year sees those influences adequately honored but also sees their own sound sharpened.

lyrics
The America of Theodore Dreiser was a tragedy, not far removed from the West Egg home
of Gatsby
In the ring, in one corner was Jack Dempsey, but other than the heavyweight champ the
ring was empty
We are all ghosts, we are all fiction
And I will never be a part of it
In a nation of characters of every sort what vision can we have
To better carry on?
The America of Holden Caulfield was a phony, and Sal Paradise wasn’t only fleeing
acrimony
The rebel never found his cause and the Lost Generation is still lost
We are prisoners, we are all children
And I can never get away from it
In a nation of stereotype and phenotype and look-alikes we’re lost
There’s nothing left to say
of Gatsby
In the ring, in one corner was Jack Dempsey, but other than the heavyweight champ the
ring was empty
We are all ghosts, we are all fiction
And I will never be a part of it
In a nation of characters of every sort what vision can we have
To better carry on?
The America of Holden Caulfield was a phony, and Sal Paradise wasn’t only fleeing
acrimony
The rebel never found his cause and the Lost Generation is still lost
We are prisoners, we are all children
And I can never get away from it
In a nation of stereotype and phenotype and look-alikes we’re lost
There’s nothing left to say

At first I was a bit hesitant, thinking "This sounds like Paul Westerberg fronting Leatherface." and then I thought: "Paul Westerberg fronting Leatherface would be AWESOME."
