Será que hace unos días que no escucho música, será que por fin se me paso la "fiebre" de escuchar una y otra vez "Viva la vida" de Coldplay, será que hoy habia cositas para descubrir, será que hoy estaba más receptiva y ha habido unas cuantas canciones que me han gustado y que me obliguen a hacer el "esfuerzo" de buscar más sobre las bandas que las han compuesto. Una de esas bandas o cantantes es Paper Route. No he podido esperar a ponerlo otro día, quiero que los conozcáis YA. Si os gusta la música de Mute Math, Colour Revolt o Lovedrug, también os gustará esta banda de Nashville.

PAPER ROUTE:://:: (as told by Chad Howat) I was tired. There was just this lingering sense of exhaustion in the summer of 2004. I was tired of false starts. Tired of dreaming. Tired of being jaded. Tired of being tired. So it seems fitting that this story begins underneath my bed. You may picture me crawling below my mattress, but in reality my bed is about 6 feet above the ground-enough space for a small iBook and some cheap monitors. When I couldn't sleep, I'd descend my steps and make music all night. Some bands have LSD, others have cocaine, and our drug of choice seemed to be insomnia.
I programmed, played bass, synths and even snuck into an undisclosed location masquerading as a music student to record piano. JT Daly, a close friend and old band mate, started coming over to sing, sample, and play toy keyboards. We had always wanted to do a project together and finally it was becoming a reality. After a month or so went by, Andy Smith, another close friend and ex-band mate who lives above me, started coming downstairs and contributing vocals, guitar, harmonica, and some synths.
A band had naturally formed between the three of us and we were making music together, once again. After releasing two EP’s, we began preparing to perform the songs live. Long time friend and drummer Gavin McDonald joined us and we played shows across the North East and Mid-Western states. We recorded bits and pieces and released what we thought was the best.
We spent far too much time working and not enough time with our loved ones. We read as much as we could and wrote more. So its 2008 and these EP’s are what we have to show for the sleepless nights. We hope that you enjoy them as much as we’ve enjoyed creating them.

Paper Route- Are We All Forgotten MP3
by Staff | 06.30.2008
Blending the timeless style of classic Americana and indie rock, with the modern programming elements of electronica, Nashville quartet Paper Route are poised and ready to share their music with the masses. The band plan to release their latest EP, Are We All Forgotten courtesy of Low Altitude Records/Tigershark Records on July 8th.
Lead single and title track, "Are We All Forgotten" builds a textured layer of ambiance as the vocals carefully wisp in. Its lyrics offer sincerity, not desperation - as they croon, "Don't you break my heart". With an undercurrent of electronica filling the open spaces, it's a genius afterthought for various adventures in summer loving.
