PAPER ROUTE
Rock / Electronica
Nashville, TN
Hailing from Nashville, TN, Paper Route is a hometown favorite. With a tour schedule including dates with Paramore and Copeland, the band is quickly gaining fans across the US. The band was started by Chad Howat, who used to make music all night when he could not sleep. “Some bands have LSD, others have cocaine, and our drug of choice seemed to be insomnia,” says Howat. Paper Route’s unique blend of electro-synth rock caught the attention of Universal Records, who put out their 2009 release “Absence.” The band’s music has also been featured on the CW show “One Tree Hill.”
