Pieces
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
So pick me up
I can't afford dementia now, I think I've lost faith in this town
Lost my faith in this direction, I hope it all comes crashing down
And there's a lot that wasn't said, and even more that wasn't felt
I think we're losing our momentum, I don't think we're doing too well
Here we are, wearing thin
There's something broken deep within
This is our weakness now, the silence has gotten too loud
Regain composure or just fall to pieces
Inside these horrible mistakes resides a consciousness that breaks
Sit back and watch as it just falls to pieces
This is a promise that we've made, promised all that we ever gave
Is is possible to offer more than this?
This is an opportunity to fight a common enemy
Or just let all of it just fall to pieces
We're here now, a sight to see
This is what we're supposed to be
I can't afford dementia now, I think I've lost faith in this town
Lost my faith in this direction, I hope it all comes crashing down
And there's a lot that wasn't said, and even more that wasn't felt
I think we're losing our momentum, I don't think we're doing too well
Here we are, wearing thin
There's something broken deep within
This is our weakness now, the silence has gotten too loud
Regain composure or just fall to pieces
Inside these horrible mistakes resides a consciousness that breaks
Sit back and watch as it just falls to pieces
This is a promise that we've made, promised all that we ever gave
Is is possible to offer more than this?
This is an opportunity to fight a common enemy
Or just let all of it just fall to pieces
We're here now, a sight to see
This is what we're supposed to be

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."
