With their new album, Absence, hitting stores next Tuesday (4/28), it’s only appropriate that Nashville act Paper Route [MySpace] would find an amazing way to let the world sample their new material. Good news, it ISN’T MySpace: the folks over at Imeem are hosting the exclusive pre-release listening party!

Head over to Imeem.com/PaperRoute to check out the stream of the new album and show some support for the band.
