Formed in 2003, twelve34 has spent the last 4 years honing their craft and
bringing their electric live show to the stage. After 2006's musically
diverse "Sinful Melody" EP, the band has returned to their songwriting roots
of previous years to release the full-length rock-and-roll album "The Only
Cure".
Described as "rock-and-roll with a mustache" by lead singer Jasen Colson,
the band's music crosses several rock genres, unified by a common retro-rock
sound. Colson, along with his bandmates Dave Doran, Chris Amos, and
brothers Eric and Jay St-Cyr, deliver an exciting sound that blends
influences such as Led Zeppelin, Guns and Roses, and Yes.
Recently signed to Cyclone Records, twelve34's success over the past
few years can be contributed to nothing less than good, honest, hard
work. By mixing solid onstage shows, outstanding recorded material,
and an old-school swagger, the band is poised to bring its sound to
the next level. "The Only Cure" provides a sampling of the band's musical
variety, delivering track after track of rhythm, groove, harmonies,
and raunchy guitar. With guitar-heavy tracks such as "Let It Save You",
the title track "The Only Cure", and moodier tracks such as "Too Damn
Late", the album appeals to a wide variety of audiences.

Eric St-Cyr was interviewed live by DJ Matty Grant on iRock109.com's
Extreme Velocity show on 19 January 2008. Also, played on the show were
4 tracks from "The Only Cure".
Keith Fraser says "The Only Cure has found a long lost remedy for
the dead eared modern music fan. From the first blast of cymbals and
raw guitar, the hammer, anvil, and stirrup buffet the ear drum to awaken
a once thought misplaced treasure, true rock and roll. Vocals, musicianship
and talent are all showcased in this well produced and balanced CD.
It's a journey that you simply accept and enjoy. Dead ear syndrome?
I now know what the only cure is." You can read the full review in Toronto
