The Number Twelve Looks Like You have unveiled their new single “Eyes On The Fireworks“. That song is the first to emerge from the NJ-based mathcore outfit since signing with Equal Vision this year. Vocalist Jesse Korman said of the song:
“Americans often assert that our claim to being the greatest country in the world rests on our freedom. The term ‘freedom’ is almost synonymous with the United States, as if it encapsulates all that truly matters. However, issues such as healthcare, affordable housing, gun violence, drug addiction, and unemployment persist. Despite these challenges, we continue to celebrate each summer with beach outings, fireworks, and barbecues, proclaiming our freedom, even as our nation engages in foreign conflicts. So let’s just keep our eyes on the fireworks!”
This year has seen some lineup changes in the band, with bassist Cory McCorry and drummer Michael DeMarco having joined the group, replacing DJ Scully and Michael Kadnar respectively. A music video this latest song was shot with director Jaakko Manninen and is available below:
