The Number Twelve Looks Like You (Grindcore/ Metal/ Jazz)

Heavy, stodgy, complex, loud, artistically minded, intelligent, violent, complicated, dangerous, eclectic, virtuoso – just a few words to describe the music of a band from New Jersey called The Number Twelve Looks Like You.

Formed in 2003 and named after an episode of David Lynch's world-famous „Twin Peaks“-series, these five guys have decided to make arduous music for an arduous world.

It's quite amazing how precise they know how to play their instruments. This fact already lets #12, how they're also often called (or written), be much different in comparisom to many other bands of their genre, whose music usually doesn't go much further than beating the hell out of their instruments, sometimes accompanied by some boring gruntig.

#12's interpretation of grindcore is very individual: it is also very fast and even has a few  borrowings out of good old metal, but it is by no means trashy.

This band prefers a professional way of making music, which also might be a reason why they enthuse so many people outside some possible genre-boundaries.

Their music's frame reminds a bit of the structure in Jazz-music, though it's infiltrated with all important stuff that makes music be grindcore.

It might be the numerous breaks, the wide range of different facets or the quick and to the point changes into other musical styles amidst their songs that make them be so out of the common, so special.

Besides this, the music of The Number Twelve Looks Like You has a very high level of complexity, with occasionally very intricate beats and rhythms, what would let a few people make call their music „math rock“. But „math grind“?

But, in spite of all this experimental approach to their music, it still remains being aggressive, ferocious and really rough rockmusic.
