Keeping up with the theme of forlorn bands playing heartbroken jams in a junkyard in the middle of nowhere -- something we saw recently with Mayday Parade's "The Silence" video -- This Providence gets lost in their new video for "Keeping On Without You.'

Directed by Carlos Lopez Estrada, "Keeping On Without You" (taken from their Who Are You Now album) finds the Seattle band plying their trade in the wake of what looks like a tornado; jamming amidst the wrecked houses and wrecked lives.

By the end of the proceedings, the houses are still mostly piles of rubble, but it does seem like (spoiler alert) rock and roll makes the sun come out. Which is something, at least.

This Providence: a band that began with an “awkward and weird” encounter in a locker room… I really need to hear more about these origins -- you don’t want to leave me to my own devices -- but alas, that is the only explanation we viewers get from the Discover & Download interview from This Providence regarding its possibly sweaty origins.

OK, we do get a little bit more, so you should watch the video below: The Fueled by Ramen band formed when rival Seattle band members Dan Young and Gavin Phillips agreed to set aside their differences and start making heartfelt, punky pop-rock together.

The guys also discuss their single "Letdown," off of their latest album, Who Are You Now. I'm not the first to say this, but Dan seems like the cute, sensitive type (and that's not a Seattle accent), so who is he letting down?

Anyway, check out This Providence on Discover & Download -- or catch them headlining with Hey Monday on the MySpace Music Let's Make A Mess tour.

Let me warn you, before we get started, that if you click play on the video below, you're gonna be stuck with "Letdown" all day.

In their latest Buzzworthy interview, This Providence describe the new single as a "Sing-along, feel-good kind of thing, driving down the freeway with the windows down," adding later, "It's really fun to sing along to." Man oh man. They were NOT kidding. "Letdown" is a fist-pumper of an anthem with a hook so sharp that my co-workers have had to tell me to shut up three times today because I keep singing it under my breath. I don't even realize I'm doing it! It's like musical restless leg syndrome. Holy moly.

As I've mentioned before, "Letdown" -- like all of This Providence's singles -- is about falling for the wrong girl. The twist in this one is that it's you who's wrong for her. You're her "Letdown." Bummer, huh? But don't freak out, because the message here is that there are way worse things than finding out you've barked up the wrong tree. Like swine flu. And anyway, being a "Letdown" is just fine if you know how to convert the sting of rejection into frenzied overlapping bridges and orgasmic choruses. (Oh man, that chorus!)

Alright, you've been warned. Time to watch "Letdown." Are you ready?

As I'm sure you remember, Seattle's This Providence dropped by MTV in February, confessed to being emo, and gave us the scoop on a couple of their songs.

The first was "My Beautiful Rescue," which they described as "a song about falling in love with someone you don’t deserve." The second, "That Girl's A Trick," is "about falling for the wrong girl." Somebody's got a sweet tooth for bad apples... Gotta love tough dudes who get in touch with their feelings.

Anyway, fast forward to now. This Providence were back in our neck of the woods recently, so we hustled them into the studio and gave 'em the third degree. And what do you know? Only two bullet points into their edition of "The 5," they had this to say about "Letdown," the first single from their new record, Who Are You Now:

"Essentially the song is about falling for the wrong girl and finding out the hard way. Being her 'let down.'"

This Providence! Where do you meet all these girls?!? Certainly not backstage! Tell me, groupies, would any of you dare break one of these boys' hearts? I didn't think so!

Bummer lyrics aside, the band calls "Letdown" a feel-good sing-along song to be listened to while driving fast with the windows down (am I crazy, or do you hear a hint of Vince Guaraldi's "Linus And Lucy" in the first bar??). Sign me up for that one. For the rest of the dirt on these handsome, heartbreak-a-day pop-punks, watch This Providence on "The 5," and pick up Who Are You Now, in stores right now.

Before blistering the paint off of NYC's Highline Ballroom with Ludo, Sing It Loud and The Morning Light, This Providence dropped by MTV for a photo session and a quick interview. The Seattle boys with the Aussie accent (courtesy of frontman Dan Young) have been banging out noisy, emotional anthems since 2003, in one incarnation or another.

In 2006, Young and his high school buddy/guitarist Gavin Phillips picked up David Blaise on bass and got signed to Fueled By Ramen. In 2007, they added Andy Horst on drums, toured with Paramore and officially started having to fight off hordes of fans with sticks. Here's a little insight into why you need their Who Are You Now? record (out March 17) more than you need water or toilet paper.

Buzzworthy: Here's an easy one -- why are you called This Providence?
This Providence: Well, you know, the meaning. Divine intervention. We like the idea of that. Destiny. That kind of describes us as a band. We were called and destined to make music.

BW: Y'all are from Seattle. There's a lot of musical baggage there. What do you connect more with: grunge or emo?
TP: Well, a little bit of everything, really. We're fans of Death Cab, Sunny Day, Jeremy Enigk... We like Nirvana. Have you heard of them? Don't know when they're gonna go on tour again, though. We've just been waiting.

BW: Would you call yourselves an emo band?
TP: (Dan Young) Yeah, we're pretty emo. We have depth to our music, and that's one kind of depth we have.

(Andy Horst) I don't even know what emo is anymore.

(Dan Young) Emo is just crying because your heart's broken. That's what songs have always been about.

(Gavin Phillips) We won't be mad if someone calls us emo.

BW: Does "My Beautiful Rescue" have a backstory?
TP: It does have a backstory, but I don't wanna share it, really. It's just a song about falling in love with someone you don't deserve.

BW: You've done a lot of touring with Paramore. Any gnarly road stories?
TP: Paramore are awesome. There's a girl in that band. We've toured with them a lot.

BW: Any falling in love?
TP: Unfortunately, no. Well, with Josh (Farro) a little bit. He's a looker.

BW: I'm sure "That Girl's A Trick" is about falling in love, too, right?
TP: Ha, yeah. It's about falling for the wrong girl.

BW: So you are totally emo!
TP: Yeah, see!
