This Providence bassist, Phil Cobrea, has decided to lave the band. You can read a message from him below.

Its Phil here. I just wanted to send out a message to you all personally and let you all know whats going on. After many days and months of thinking and praying, and after over two years of touring and being in this band for many more years than that, I have decided to no longer play bass for This Providence. The reason is basically that its just too hard for me to be gone for such long periods of time on tour. In all my relationships I am lacking and I want to focus on them more.

The Outline will be appearing live on DJ Rossstar’s Punk Rock Show, tonight, Thursday, October 5th 2006 from 7-8pm PST. This Providence will be doing a live phone interview as well. You can tune in, worldwide, at www.idobiradio.com. You can send messages to be read on air to the band at the screen name: Staridobi

Recently I had the honor of interviewing Ryan Tapert, drummer of This Providence. He told us about the new record which came out this month, future plans for the band and their time on the road with Paramore, Hit The Lights and Cute Is What We Aim For.

Artist: This Providence
Album: This Providence
Label: Fueled By Ramen
Purchase: SmartPunk
Release Date: September 12, 2006

Overall: 7.1
Music: 7.0
Lyrics: 9.0
Production: 6.5

I wish I could judge a record based on its message because if I could, the second release by Seattle-natives ‘This Providence’ would be a perfect ten. In a music scene where negativity breeds popularity, This Providence has continually held strong to their faith-based lyrics and outstanding character even now being a part of a record company laden with immorality. Their first record ‘Our World’s Divorce’ was a perfect blend of pop-rock and off tempo indie-emo and held a flavor original to This Providence. While there signature sound is sometimes present, their Fueled By Ramen debut seems apt to follow the trends of popular music.
