Seems like only yesterday I rode my bike up and down Hill Road during the wee hours of the morning. That was the paper route as I knew it. The Paper Route of today doesn't involve bikes or apartment complexes loaded with geezers and kick-me dogs. This time around you can wake up to an ambient-induced rock fresh with the electric flavor the four fellows from Nashville call the Paper Route.
Paper Ruote, made up of Chad Howat, JT Daly, Andy Smith and Gavin McDonald, released their Are We All Forgotten EP on July 8 and have been touring their poppy chords since with the likes of Phantom Planet, Jack's Mannequin and Paramore on The Final Riot Tour (see dates below).
With all of the band sites I travel across in a year's time, I would say Paper Route's site easily is a top-5 site due mainly to the streaming music and the video clip background. Despite not having a forum or fancy features, the site remains enjoyable. Kudos to their creator.
