One can look at a number of acts from New Jersey for good storytelling songs - Springsteen, Bon Jovi, Gaslight Anthem.
Airborne Toxic Event's lyrics are often telling stories. Sometime around midnight is an excellent example. They're most recent album, Hollywood Park, is based on the singer's memoirs of the same name. It's an excellent album.
