Paper Route

Add Date: March 10

Artist: Paper Route

Album: Selections from Absence

Label: Motown

Genre: Pop/Rock

Comments: Paper Route compares themselves to Coldplay, and frankly, I have to agree (Parachutes-era, at least). The compositions are deep, but easily accessible, and, at least on the opener "Enemy Among Us" (the best song on the album) lead singer Chad Dowat seems to be doing his best Chris Martin impression. That is not to say that the band is just copying Coldplay, though, as the later songs expand their sound and add their own American touch to the music.

It's Chad Howart not "Dowat". And he's not even the lead singer, he's plays bass. JT Daly and Andy Smith share vocals

Even so, it's Howat, not Howart.
But yes, the writer should at least get the band members correct if they're going to attempt to write a review for them.

yes, thank you for clearing this up
and I'm not sure we've ever personally compared ourselves to coldplay.
