The four band members met in Mandeville, La., a small suburb north of New Orleans, and within 15 months was signed to a record deal with Wind-Up Records. In reflection of their strong Christian backgrounds, the name of the band is significant to the twelve disciples that followed Jesus and taken metaphorically from the twelve stones in the Hoshen, a breastplate worn by the High Priest of Levitical order in the Old Testament.
