Gutter - Paper Route

Heard this song on CSI:NY - & I knew I should post this because I hadn't before & it's awesome.
Paper Route hails from Nashville, TN.  The music that came to be Paper Route started in Chad Howat's (bass, piano, programming…) bedroom, where he would sleep in the top bunk & make music in the bottom bunk (if I remember reading correctly - it was some time ago when they had that part in their bio…).  J.T. Daly (vocals, keys, percussion) was the next in the scene, followed by Andy Smith (vocals, guitars, harmonica), & eventually Gavin McDonald (drums).  The first 3 members (who were all originally from For All the Drifters - before they disbanded) released a self-titled EP on Aug. 29th, 2006 through Drama Club Records.  2 more EP's followed, then their major label release "Absence" came on April 28th, 2009 on Universal Motown.  They are now currently working on a new album, & just today, they posted on their Twitter page that they just recorded the choir.  This song is from "Absence".
the music video (to which, at some point, they posted a 'letter' of sorts about how the video came to be - mostly because the people who were originally funding it pulled out [I forget if it was the label or someone else....... so don't quote me!  lol])
