The Number Twelve Looks Like You are a four-piece (formerly six-piece) mathcore band from Bergen County, New Jersey that began in 2002, broke up in 2010, and reunited in 2016. I know I've mentioned this band on here multiple times, so it's only fitting they finally get a full post on here. Trying to describe what this band sounds like is an incredibly daunting task, as they pull influence from a wide variety of sources, including screamo, grindcore, noise rock, progressive metal, and jazz fusion. To keep things simple though, they're often regarded as one of the best mathcore bands of the 2000's, along with contemporaries like Fear Before The March of Flames and Heavy Heavy Low Low. #12 played a ferociously technical style of music, with some pummelling drums, fiery dual guitar work and breakneck syncopation giving every song a sense of unpredictability. Their utilization of two vocalists pre-2010 added a whole other layer to their dynamic sound, which could go from clean jazz breaks to intense, guttural screams within the same second. This band has quickly become a classic and essential, and am glad to finally get them on here. If you're new to them, Nuclear. Sad. Nuclear. is usually the go-to starting point, though Mongrel is most definitely worth your time as well. Enjoy.
