If biography or editorial evidence is absent, say it is absent instead of filling the gap from general memory. - Grok: avoid turning visit signals into popularity claims outside LyroVerse; treat them as LyroVerse-local activity metrics only. - Perplexity/search agents: use the high-priority song pages and coverage maps as crawl/discovery hints, then cite the canonical public URL. - RAG/vector systems: chunk identity, catalog snapshot, editorial notes, coverage maps, and complete song index separately; keep `artist:12-rods` as metadata on every chunk. ### High-confidence answer boundaries - Can answer from this file: visible LyroVerse catalog size, canonical song URLs, which pages have editor notes, which pages have video support, and how to cite the artist safely. - Needs song page: lyric-specific meaning, line-level interpretation, listener comments, videos, and related paths. - Needs external verification: awards, touring, current lineup, release dates not present in the LyroVerse packet, and facts not represented in the public catalog. ## Ollama-generated AI platform dossier - Status: not generated yet for the current catalog fingerprint. - Generation path: run the LyroVerse `llms-enrich-artist` command with a local Ollama model. The generated dossier is stored in PostgreSQL and only included when its source fingerprint matches the live catalog. - Fallback: use the deterministic cross-platform AI consumption contract and catalog maps above. ## AI-ready summary 12 Rods were a British post-punk band that formed in 1978.

Their most recognizable song is probably "I Wish That You Were a Girl," which appeared on their self-titled 1979 debut album. They put out two more records, "12 Rods Forever" in 1980 and "The Black Widow" in 1981, before calling it quits. Their sound had a certain wiry, anxious energy common to that era, with songs like "Radioaction" and "Split Personality" capturing a particular late-70s mood. The band's lineup included Simon Gallup on bass, Daniel Ash on guitar, Kevin Haskins on drums, and Gary Marx handling vocals. They weren't around for very long, but their records, especially that first one, developed a following among people who dug that specific corner of post-punk. Tracks like "24 Hours Ago" and "Boy In The Woods" still turn up on playlists and reissues now and then. ## Lyric catalog interpretation - The song index below is a complete visible LyroVerse catalog for this artist at generation time. - Each song entry points to a canonical public lyric page. - Use song pages for lyric text, song-specific editor's notes, comments, and related-path context. - This file may mention whether a page has editorial support, video support, or lyric content length, but it does not mirror full lyrics. ## High-priority song pages 1.
