Formed by Jonathon Lopez in 2015, Provoker began as a solo project, focused on creating scores for fictional horror films.[3] After coming in contact with singer, songwriter, musician Christian Crow Petty at a screening of the American black comedy The Greasy Strangler, Lopez sent him some of his soundtrack pieces to record vocals over. This melding lead to the band adopting more post-punk influence, finding a middle ground between Lopez's synth driven experimentation and Petty's R&B influenced singing.
The band was complete in its current form after the release of 2018's Dark Angel EP, now a three piece consisting of guitarist Lopez, bassist Wil Palacios and vocalist Petty.[4]
Their debut album Body Jumper was released via YEAR0001[5] on August 13, 2021.[6][7][8][9]
