This Providence (previously known as Sunday Best), is a five-piece indie rock band from Seattle, Washington. The members of This Providence came together in the summer of 2001 and soon after recorded a 4 song demo CD, under the short lived name of "T minus 1." However, in 2003 they recorded the better known "Sunday Best EP," co-produced, and self-released (now out of print). While still in high school, they gathered a strong following locally, as well as some label attention. After graduating, the band released their debut full-length record, Our Worlds Divorce, produced by Casey Bates.
"They're very creative and technical but have a great sense of pop also," says friend and fellow independent band member, Bobby Darling from Gatsbys American Dream.
Fueled by Ramen released This Providence's new self titled full-length album on September 12, 2006.
On November 1, 2006, Phil Cobrea announced that he would no longer be playing bass in This Providence.[1] He cited fractured relationships and a need to be around his family and girlfriend as his reason for leaving. He left on friendly terms and claims he will be around when This Providence plays shows in Seattle.
They are currently on tour with Cute Is What We Aim For, All Time Low, and Brighten.[2] This Providence will be appearing at The Bamboozle 2007 on May 5th, 2007.
