Strike Twelve stands out as a ray of sunshine against a new world of depressed, emo bands. They started out to have fun and that's what they've been doing for the last 3 years. Now we've got an arsenal of roughly 25 songs and a couple well-chosen covers. When Strike Twelve (previously known to many as "Better Than Nothing") takes the stage, everyone's mood instantly lightens as their ears are filled with the warm sounds of their lively action-packed songs. Coming from the Temecula area, this band prides itself on its distinctive style and positive energy. A friend and member of another band heard them and commented: "i am madly in love with the non emoness your band posseses." They have played at Soma, the Epicentre, the Showcase Theatre, Cane's Bar & Grill, the Wheelhouse, and many more venues. Check out their songs and come see them live.

Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The band began in early 2001 when guitarists Anthony Pedroza and Matty T approached Joey T and asked him to play bass with them. The chemistry was undeniable and they began their search for a drummer. This search ended when they were introduced to a friend of a friend, Matt Bollinger. Eventually other commitments made it too difficult for Anthony to devote enough time to the band and he had to move on. Matty T and Joey stayed together and soon teamed up with their friend Danny B after their original drummer quit. And that brings us to today...
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Of course we do. It's what we live for. One moment that stays with us was during the Pizza Song at the Temecula CRC when a guy in the crowd came up on stage and started humping Joe. It was funny. It's also a great feeling when people sing along and get into it.
