About Me

"haunting, moody, darkly romantic and morosely beautiful....some of the most highly creative, expertly played musical hybrids within the ethereal realm....Twelfth of Never are clearly poised to become the next reigning darlings in the underground ethereal world" ~Mike Ventarola, Starvox zine Twelfth of Never formed in late 1997, originally as a five-piece, consisting of Matthew Davis (keyboards, drum machine programming and sequencing, male vocals), Keith A. Landry (guitar), Ron Miles (bass), Chris Posco (guitar), and Robin Tinker (lead vocals and recorder). The musical stylings of Twelfth of Never falling somewhere in the vein of dark ethereal-rock with a classic gothic feel.
Within the ten years of the band's existence, we have had two albums released (Blowing Bubbles Through Broken Windows self-released in 1999, and Things That Were, released on the Dark Symphonies label in 2003, three compilation appearances, numerous live shows around our native New England, and several band members come and go. Our current lineup includes founders Ron, Keith, and Matthew, and a string section duo in the form of violinist, Aurora, and cellist, Anne Marie, and as of 2008 our lead vocalist is Kimberly Burk (formerly of Seven Sunless Days). Aside from working on a new demo, we had played occasional gigs in 2007. For 2008, we are determined to focus on writing and recording so we can get a new album out there! Also, our official website www.twelfthofnever.com is currently in the process of being completely revamped.
