In early 2002, Jesse Korman and Justin Pedrick both met through a mutual acquaintance, and recruiting Christopher Conger, Jamie McIlroy and Alexis Pareja, formed the bass-free outfit And Ever. After releasing a five-song demo and playing a handful of songs together, the band's style began to change slightly[1], and they soon changed their name to The Number Twelve Looks Like You, a name taken from the the title of an episode of the The Twilight Zone.[2]
In early 2003, with newly added bassist Mike Smagula, the band was heard at a live show by an A&R representative from Brutal Records, who impressed, informed the heads of the record label about the band.[3] After hearing all the songs the band had currently recorded, the label signed the band in March and commissioned them to record two new songs[4], which along with the songs they had already recorded, were soon released on the bands first full-length album, Put On Your Rosy Red Glasses.
After extensive touring in promotion of Put On Your Rosy Red Glasses, the band began to catch the attention of Eyeball Records, and eventually they were signed in October of 2004 [5]. Soon thereafter the band returned the studio and began work on recording their first release for Eyeball, An Inch Of Gold For An Inch Of Time. The EP, released on January 25, 2005 featured a cover of The Knack's hit, "My Sharona", two new songs, and a re-recording of "Don't Get Blood On My Prada Shoes" and "Jesus And Tori", from their first full-length.
After a short promotional tour for "An Inch Of Gold For An Inch Of Time", the band returned to the studio in March, and with producer D. James Goodwin, recorded their follow-up full length Nuclear. Sad. Nuclear. Finalized in seven days and later released on June 7, the album contained, amongst 10 new tracks, re-recordings of two tracks featured on An Inch Of Gold For An Inch Of Time, "Like A Cat" and "Clarissa Explains Cuntainment".
On June 19, 2007, the band released another full length album, "Mongrel," which featured all new material, with songs such as "El Pinata de la Muerte," and "Sleeping With the Fishes, See?"
