Since forming in 04′ Paper Route has run the gauntlet of the music industry, emerging today as a band that seems prepared to start a meteoric rise. The Nashville, TN natives recently released their debut L.P. ‘Absence’ on May 2nd after honing their skills on two E.P’s over the course of the last 4 years. Staying true to their roots, Paper Route debuted their newest work at Grimey’s Preloved CD’s in Nashville on May 2nd. With about 100 people in attendance Andy Smith and JT Daly lead the group through a 30 minute acoustic set of ‘Absence’ to an overwhelmed group of people that were lucky enough to get a spot in the crowded venue. Gavin Mcdonald was posted above the crowd, scratching on undersized ludwig set, at one point going with out drumsticks, opting for his hands instead. The sound of the small venue was better than expected, sounding more like the album than most live performances, even duplicating the string parts of their album with a violin and cello accompaniment. From the sound of the CD release party, Paper Route may soon be getting the major exposure that their music is begging for.

Check below for a video of their performance and if you have a chance make sure you catch them live. Dates for their tour can be found on the Concert Calendar on Buzzafied’s main page.
