This Sucks

THE NUMBER TWELVE LOOKS LIKE POO

 Tuesday, December 15th, 2009 at 12:30pm by

After weeks of rumors to this effect, it’s official: The Number Twelve Looks Like You are dunzo. I can’t say I’m heartbroken as I was never really a fan, but some kid standing outside a Dillinger show like five hours before doors once told me they were awesome, and enough of you have e-mailed us about this that I have to assume some of you care, so… feel free to mourn or celebrate here, depending on how you feel about it.

Here’s the band’s video for the song “Grandfather.”

    That fucking sucks. Worse That Alone is definitely one of my favorites from 2009. They will be missed.

  • mrak

    God thats horrible… They are very talented. Check out some videos of their drummer, Jon Karel. He tears it up big time.

  • The Overmatt

    Only saw them once, thought they were terrible.

  • Walker

    Never could get into these guys.

  • Zoker

    Being progressive for the sake of it…

  • Alex_P

    Yeah, they were a pretty decent mathcore band, although I was never a big fan either. Sucks for their fans.

  • Uglymicrowave

    the only album this band put out worth listening to was there first…Put On Your Rosy Red Glasses….

    other than that they sound like a horrible rip off of the blood brothers/the locust

    Peace! Don’t let the door hit ya in the ass.

  • boredxglued

    These guys ruled. Mongrel still blows my mind every fucking time. Sucks I never got to see them.

    Not a huge fan but I did really like the Inch of Gold for an Inch of Time ep

  • Hyperkulturemia

    Shame. I’ll admit It’s hard getting passed the irksome high-pitched vocals but their technical prowess and songwriting abilities we’re top notch. Seems like they just hit their stride with Worse Than Alone

    • Alkahest

      I agree with the vocals. It took me a while to get passed them but their talent and ability drew me in.

    fucking emo kids

    • Alkahest

      What the fucking tits are you talking about?

    They suck, certainly won’t miss em.

  • g

    That singer is really grating. Drummer sounds pretty good though.

  • JOnny fIve aces

    I’m all for this. Wipe this shitty fad away so we can make room for the next one. Bring it on.

  • rachel

    Wow the polyrhythms between the drummer, guitarist, and vocal effects at the beginning of this song were a lot to take in. Kinda terrible sounding in my opinion, but creative.

  • SP420

    THIS IS A FUCKING GREAT DAY FOR METAL.

    This band was nothing but untalented metrosexuals who fondled each other’s balls like they did their guitars: with great skill but no passion whatsoever.

  • Malacoda

    So uh… who emailed Axl/Vince? Because I never want to talk to you. Ever.

  • Spanky

    About time they die!

  • AATHD

    1 down 100,000 more shit sandwiches to go!

  • matty k

    Wow…why all the hate? I really thought “worse than alone” was awesome. The whole “emo” dig is tired, generic and misplaced.

    • Ryan

      Yeah, apparently being a young musician these days automatically makes you emo.

      Hurrr

      • Alkahest

        Agreed. Just because one of the guys is skinny and has longish swoopy hair, they’re automatically emo.

  • hikizume

    cool music. cool dudes. shame.

  • rich

    #12 rules, if you actually talked to the guys all of you haters would feel like shit cause they are talented and humble, and leave you with no reason to hate. Jon Karel was one of the nicest guys i have ever met, and one of the best drummers i have seen live as well. #12 did what they wanted too and didn’t give a shit what people said. True artists, i’ll miss those dudes especially since their musical direction seemed to be getting better and better

  • TommyGunn

    I really tried to get into these guys. I even bought their last album but sadly they did nothing for me. I think the main issue was all the screamo shit, the music itself wasn’t bad at all.

  • DustintheWind

    I actually really liked these guys and am bummed to hear this… If you cant enjoy them because they wear tight jeans and swooped hair then thats your loss.. But as far as melodic mathcore goes #12 kicked ass. i agree the “singing” can wear on you but they have some real brutal stuff and their softer parts are absolutely beautiful… All those unfamiliar please check out “Jay Walking Backwards”

    • I Play Polyrhythms in my sleep

      COULD NOT AGREE MORE!

  • C.

    So another crappy band only idiots like goes tits-up. Who gives a fuck?

  • Dysenteric

    Whoop-de-doo, Basil. Just another band that got attention from scenesters because they were “progressive” and “technical” and “forward-thinking”. Musicians can be as technical as they want, just as long as they remember that all that skill doesn’t count for owt if the final product ends up sounding like crap that would make any ordinary listener want to destroy their speakers with a sledgehammer and then throw them out the window onto the road below. Like I nearly did when I first heard Psyopus. Jesus Christ on a bike that band sucks.

  • Andrew

    Dillinger=Awesome. Number 12 Looks Like You not only looks like poo, but sounds even poo-ier.
