"闯红灯" is chosen as the band name as it reflects the attitude of the members who are daring and willing to take risk. It is especially meaningful to us because the process of forming this band lineup actually tppl us some determination and courage. The 4 piece band members all came from all walks of life and the only bond in us is wanting to play and produce good music for human ears. We have been changing the members for the past 6 months and it has really been hard to choose between keeping a friend or keeping the band. Even though we eventually found a way to strike a balance of both, we all understand that not every decision we make will be right and there are times in life we know that we will need to do the wrong things and take some risks.

The action of beating the red light also symbolises that the band's song genre of songs, which can be very versatile, e.g. when we cross the red light, we are doing heavy stuff, before we cross red light can be lighter stuff like funk etc. In general, the full band setup will be based on rock stuff and if you see us on acoustic set, 闯红灯 will try to execute upbeat tempo to the song so that we can spice up the atmosphere.

As traffic light is something that you can find in almost every country and anywhere, we felt that this name can be used anywhere and being proud to be a Singaporean band, we have also named ourselves as Twelve Points in English. With that, we believed that this band should be able to "闯" and step our foot in any place, anywhere.
