   About The Twelve Canons
The Twelve Canons were formed sometime in 2001 or 2002 in Des Moines, Iowa. Frontman Jim DuRocher started performing and releasing material under the name as an outlet for an ambient, low-fi style he wanted to explore. After a few years of revolving lineups and musical styles ranging from honkey-tonk to pseudo-klezmer to straight up, stripped down folk songs, the band finally settled on a permanent core of members. The Twelve Canons now operate as a three-piece, with multi-instrumentalists Samuel Gold and Alex Body arranging and backing DuRocher songs. In the summer of 2004, the band relocated to Iowa City, Iowa. Once settled in Iowa City, the Twelve Canons recorded two sets of demos and released them as cd-rs. These demos represent an exploration of and an attempt to come closer to DuRochers stated ambition, to play evil, evil music. A third release is on its way, to be released in late summer 2006 by Minnesotas Floodwater Records. This record, Volume Three: Holy, Holy, Holy, continues the work of the first two. It combines folk, pop, and unbridled malevolence into one bitter, but ultimately rewarding package.
