Paper Route is an American indie band from Nashville, Tennessee formed in 2004. The band’s self-titled debut album was released August 29, 2006.

Paper Route is composed of Chad Howat (bass, piano, programming), J.T. Daly (vocals, keyboards, percussion), Andy Smith (vocals, guitars, harmonica), and Gavin McDonald (drums). Howat, Daly, and Smith first began playing together late at night after a previous musical endeavor had disbanded. On their website, Paste magazine deemed Paper Route an artist to watch.

From late July through August 2008, Paper Route was part of the Final Riot Tour, with Paramore, Phantom Planet, and Jack’s Mannequin. They have also toured with Copeland and Passion Pit.

In early 2008, the TV show One Tree Hill featured Paper Route songs in the episodes “Life Is Short” and “Cryin’ Won’t Help You Now”. The band’s song “Last Time” was chosen to be the theme song for the August 31, 2008 Nike+ Human Race.

The band’s major label debut, Absence, was issued on Universal Records on April 28, 2009. The album reached #13 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.

considering they are signed to a major label and have opened for paramore and owl city I still love them. For some reason these guys have something no other bands has and I hope that never changes.

I just recently got into these guys (from them being similar to MuteMath on here) but I love their stuff! Very good and underrated. I'm definitely going to see them in Atlanta with Owl City. Honestly I haven't even gotten into OC and am mostly going to see these guys! But it's only $20 per ticket so crap, it'll be more than worth it!

Looking forward to seeing them with Lights. Like a much better version of Coldplay,combined with a bit of Faunts. I usually hate this kind of music (major label stadium indie stuff),so I'm surprised I like Paper Route.

So they open for Paramore and now Owl City? Good for them, tons of exposure.
