12 Rods
12 Rods (also known by the stylistic variants 12RODS and Twelve Rods) was an American indie rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota. The group was formed in Oxford, Ohio in 1992, later relocating to Minneapolis in 1995 where it was based until its initial disbandment in 2004.
Aside from a one-off reunion show in 2015, the band remained inactive until 2021, when frontman Ryan Olcott announced on Facebook that he was making a new album under the 12 Rods name. He released If We Stayed Alive and toured with a new line up.
In June of 2025, Olcott posted to Instagram announcing the band had disbanded again, stating that the members were fired due to insubordination.
