Utility Provider was formed by Chris Thomas (formerly: RED ANT ARMY - FUSE BREAKER - DIELECTRIC - CTT PROJECT - WURM) in 2013 with Scott O'hara (FREEBASE) on Drums and Dan Wakefield on Bass
After many shows throughout 2014, Scott & family relocated to AB and Dan & Chris continued on in searc
h of a new drummer. and the writing get stronger - it changed the texture of the music. With his (C.L.) talents mixed in with C.T. and Dan's already large sound, Utility Provider was now a real driving force in the local music scene. After 3 long years of non stop playing the local scene and only demo songs to show for it, Utility Provider hit the studio to record it's debut album "ALL IN TIME" (available now on all platforms) dropped August 14th, 2019. With songs like "FRASER HEIGHTS" & "GREASE TRAP" making waves on indie radio stations worldwide & supporting the release with many shows there was changes starting to develop - and like most bands - changes were made. So, Dan Wakefield departed ways with U.P. leaving the band with no bass player. After many auditions - the right fit was found. U.P. welcomes Tyler Parsons-Mathieu as the new bass player. With some time off to work on the new line up (learning and writing songs) and getting ready to record our 2nd album, COVID hit us all. So U.P. focused all the energy on making a new record during the lockdown instead of withering away like so many other artists. "LOST IN HUMANITY'S GRIP" was released June 28th 2022 (available on all platforms) we like everyone else started playing live shows again - however - another set back was on the horizon. July 2022 - Chris Lang departed ways for personal reasons. (U.P. wishes him all the best and thanks him for his musical input.). But show must go on!!!!! Enter new drummer Vadim Cartovenco (2 DAYS & COUNTING). VADIM brings new life into the band especially with U.P. reeling from the loss of C.L just as "Lost in Humanity's Grip" was being released.
“LOST IN HUMANITY’S GRIP” NOW AVAILABLE ON MANY MORE SITES - NAME IT - WERE ON IT! Vadim brings more than just new life - with his unique style and what he brings to the table in the rehearsal room is outright amazing and we are so excited for the future. We are so proud and very excited for you all to hear the new record with Vadim on drums. Spring 2024 U.P. started tracking sessions with the all mighty Nick Bergeron @ Starport Studios (Langley, B.C.) for our 3rd album. Nick has made a massive mark on this record and we could not be any more happier with the amazing work he has done.
