12 Tone System

12 Tone System were a New-Wave Punk band from Philadelphia formed in 1996 I believe that mixed vintage synthesizers with fluid pop sounds. I'm pretty happy to be sharing this post, as that I've been trying to track this stuff down for a few years now. I found the demo tape being sold by the dudes from Deathwish Inc on an ebay auction and then months later I found the 7" as well. Eric Wareheim and Tim Heidecker (Tom goes to the mayor, Tim & Eric awesome show great job!) were both members of this band. Eric was one of the founding members and Tim joined up later on down the line. They released a self released demo tape and an EP called "Soundtrack to Synthetic Music" on Keystone and Ember Records in 1997. I don't think anything else was released. Members of Ink & Dagger, I Am Heaven, Elements Of Need, Sola, & The Tim Heidecker Masterpiece. This is most likely the first time this has been released online to my knowledge who knows.

12TS was:
Eric Wareheim
Brandon Vallo
John Ziemba
Tim Heidecker
Andy Johnson (demo & ep)
Mike Parcell (after ep)

Elements Of Need

Elements Of Need was a 90's Emo Hardcore/Screamo band from Philadelphia. As mentioned on my Ink & Dagger & I Am Heaven Posts this is one of the old bands that Eric (of Tim & Eric/Tom Goes To The Mayor fame) was a part of. As some might not know, before he was famous he was really into the hardcore scene. Some other related bands: Ink & Dagger, 12 Tone System, I Am Heaven, Sola, The Science Of, & GoodBye Blue Monday.

Also 100 of the 450 vinyls made were set aside and re-released in 2008 with a new booklet. The band is noted for having member Eric Wareheim of Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! fame.
