12 Rods (also known by the stylistic variants 12RODS and Twelve Rods) was an indie rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. The group was formed in Oxford, Ohio in 1992, later relocating to Minneapolis in 1995 where it was based until its disbandment in 2004. They reunited for one show in 2015. In 2021, the group "reformed" with Ryan Olcott announcing a new album was in the works. A new live band was later formed, and a new record, "If We Stayed Alive," was formally announced for release on American Dreams and Husky Pants Records.
