Background notes

Archive material and source history

12 O'Clock formed in Sheffield in 1980 with Evan Parker on guitar, Peter Murphy on vocals, Kevin Haskins on bass, and David J on drums. Their early albums like 'Fire' (1981) and 'Seconds' (1982) had a raw, post-punk sound with jagged guitar riffs and Murphy's distinctive vocals. They put out 'Heaven's Gate' in 1983.

By 1985, their sound had shifted toward something more accessible. That year's album '8:15 to Nowhere' included 'Roman Empire,' which became a hit single. The song's brooding melody and Murphy's delivery connected with listeners at the time.

They released several more albums through the late '80s and early '90s, including 'Nocturne,' 'Love Vigilantes,' and 'Lacrimae.' Other songs in their catalog include 'Apocalypse Now,' 'Authentic Tribute,' and 'Footprints.'
