Press Reviews Reviews: "After seeing the band and listening to the debut album, I give "Evaporate" 5 stars. I rank it as one of my favorite CD's. Definitely one of the best new synth-pop bands around and was proven at the American Synthpop Awards. Breye's voice reminds me so much of Claude S. of "Anything Box". Great lyrics along with uplifting, powerful and mezmorizing synth is guaranteed to leave you in a state of trance. Their sound is somewhere in the mixture of Iris, old school Red Flag and a small taste of Icon of Coil for kicks! CAUTION...They are very addicting" - Shervin "Synth-Master" / "The synth and vocal hooks are catchy, the beat is exciting, and the production quality is outstanding. It's rare to find all three of these factors working together in the work of most modern synthpop acts, and Provision have achieved this very well. And female keyboardists - how refreshing and incredibly cool!" - Claire Acher / "This is exactly the kind of driving synthpop I like. The vox are clear and well done with great production and the song writing is top notch as well..I can see these songs being dance floor movers." - Dan Burke "NukleoN" / "This is the Texas version of Red Flag. Analog synths, dance rhythms, and vocals that recall Depeche Mode" - B.C. "Synthpopalooza Radio MP3.com" - "This is great music, I love it! Nice analog work. :)" - Jeff Harper "Intervox" / "I've liked their sound ever since I stumbled across them while doing a search for bands like "Information Society". Provision has some really strong beats and great analog programming." - D.J. Seraphim "Synthcon"
