Band history

Formation and early history

Daniel Young, Phil Cobrea, Gavin Phillips, and Paul Benson came together to form This Providence in 2003 (Gavin and Dan were in different pop punk bands in high school and came together when they dissolved).

Our Worlds Divorce (2004)

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.

Bobby Darling of Gatsbys American Dream said, "They're very creative and technical but have a great sense of pop also."

In September 2005, This Providence announced that drummer Paul Benson was leaving the band to pursue new career paths, eventually with Apple Inc. and can be seen (by appointment only) at the  Genius Bar in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. The band and Benson parted on good terms and they still stay in contact with him on a regular basis. They also announced their new drummer, Ryan Tapert, and that he would be playing his first show with them on November 11 at the Paradox in Seattle.

This Providence (2006)

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. 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 claimed he will be around when This Providence plays shows in Seattle.

On November 3, 2006, This Providence announced that David Blaise, a Phoenix, Arizona native, had joined the band as the new bass player.

On February 5, 2007, the band announced that they had changed from a 4-piece to a 5-piece. They enlisted the help of long-time friend Sean Gasperetti[1] to play guitar and sing backup vocals. This allowed Dan to be hands free as the frontman.

They have toured with Cute Is What We Aim For, Paramore, All Time Low, The Hush Sound, Daphne Loves Derby, Relient K, House of Heroes, Ludo and Brighten.[2] This Providence appeared at The Bamboozle 2007 on May 5, 2007.

On June 19, 2007, This Providence officially announced Ryan Tapert's departure from the group.[3]

This Providence toured with A Change of Pace, June, and Paulson in the summer of 2007. Whilst on tour with Daphne Loves Derby, The Higher, and The Reign of Kindo, they took the opportunity to announce their new drummer: Andy Horst. They have also toured with Relient K, House of Heroes, and Ludo.

Who Are You Now (2009)

On April 17, 2008, Sean Gasperetti announced his departure from the band. [1]

Throughout September 2008, This Providence was on the "Why So Serious?" US Midwest/West Coast tour headlined by The Cab. Afterwards, This Providence supported Relient K on their headlining tour with Ludo and House Of Heroes during the month of October and the beginning of November 2008.
