Sure a song about the closing of a local paper is going to resonate with an old ink stained scribe such as myself so I understand the sentiment in this sentimental ode to yesteryears over yesteryears sounds from Cabin Fever but its still so very relevant and I’ll let guitarist Kyle Faulker explain, from the PR.
“Year after year, I noticed the changes that were happening in many of these towns; storefronts closing, more houses for sale, fewer people walking down the main street, and a change in the overall feeling of being there. I was stricken by the parallel between the feelings I had then, and the feelings when our town had lost its local paper, and began to imagine myself not as someone passing through one of these towns, but as an established community member who had spent my entire life there, and who wasn’t ready for the changes that were coming. ‘No Back Page’ touches on those feelings of loss, of unwanted progress for progresses’ sake, and offers a lament on the direction our world is taking these days.” he says
