Hailing from three different continents, TWELVE24 are as global as their sound. A fusion of feel-good pop, euphoric dance and technical rap, their music transcends borders, sounding as fresh anywhere on the planet as it does in their home town of Manchester, UK
It’s no wonder that the band has spent the last eight years building a loyal fan-base on stages from Manchester to arenas around the world. As well as playing every corner of the UK, they have performed in Denmark, Finland, France, Lithuania, Norway, Slovakia, South Africa, Sweden and the United States.TWELVE24’s music has scored comparisons to Macklemore (for his deep lyrical content and independence) and Calvin Harris (for his euphoric dance style). But ultimately, the band’s sound is entirely their own. They are fiercely protective of their artistic vision, writing and producing all their tracks themselves, with the help of a close team of studio collaborators. Their music is inspired by their personal stories, cultural relevancy and positive, inspiring message.
All this is confirmed by their latest release, single Higher. The radio release – and its subsequent remixes – features Deronda K. Lewis, an American gospel singer and former member of the World Wide Message Tribe, who TWELVE24 cite as a massive inspiration as they grew up.
Album Launch
Higher’s self-produced music video won MTV’s ‘The Freshmen’ viewer vote on college channel mtvU and was played on full rotation for six weeks. It was later picked up MTV Latin America, MTV Hits, the California Music Channel and others. The single’s release came on the back of the success of TWELVE24’s first full-length album, Tell The Truth (2012). Released free, it received over 20,000 downloads, a quarter of which came in the first month. The three videos from the album racked up over 200,000 views via Vevo.
Twelve24 are taking over the month of October with a huge headlining show at The Ritz in Manchester to launch their new album on the 12th October. Special guests include: LZ7, Faithchild, Geek Boy, Brightline, and many more! On the 24th October the digital (itunes, spotify, apple music, amazon etc) release will go online worldwide.
