“…their high energy drew me in and captivated me until the very end… Their live show is incomparable; they are as solid as what you hear on their six track demo.”
-JB, NashvilleRock.net

“…epic piano, catchy vocals and breakneck drums to a pitch that is, more often than not, more frenetic and frenzied than anything else you can generally find in the alternative/progressive rock world… Manic Bloom is certainly a group to watch.”

Twelve South

Twelve South, a band based in Middle Tennessee, is comprised of six guys who love music and love God. Yet, they consider themselves a different kind of Christian band – one that isn’t afraid of dirty hands and digging in to do the work involved in God’s kingdom.

The members write songs about real-life situations and their pasts. They view themselves as a group of normal guys with God-given talents they are using together, reaching out to people through their lyrics. Their lyrics don’t have to be an obvious cry out to the lost, but the message is in all of their songs. They hope through the venues where they choose to perform and through their secular rock, pop and acoustic sound that they will begin to reach out to the world. They are simply Christians in a band with a mission to use their talent and music to help their fans dig deeper and uncover their hearts.

Twelve South began as a one-time gig. Alex was asked by a friend to perform for a church youth lock-in. Alex agreed on the condition he could find a band. He recruited from among fellow church members on praise teams, friends, and friends of friends. Out of this gig, three Twelve South members emerged. Alex, Jeremy and Scott all began to write together and stir around the idea of a band. With a friend as a temporary bassist, no drummer and waiting for an electric-guitar player return from the Dominican Republic, they explored the avenues of playing together. They began playing shows with fill-in members and without keys since Scott was on drums until the lineup was set. They also began playing under the name Downpour, until confusion arose since the name was also a part of the Calvary Baptist Church college ministry. At this point the guys needed a name for their new band. They began to think of ideas, and after much deliberation, they found a solution. They wrote down words on pieces of paper and threw them in a baseball cap. They picked the words out two at a time. “Twelve” and “South” were the first two picked. The guys liked it, but they continued to draw names. After coming up with some names that didn’t work like “Nerf Helmet,” they decided Twelve South was as good as it was going to get.
