XII Boar is a group formed in late February 2010 by three friends. The band plays sludge-tinged rock and roll with a heavy stoner metal and stoner rock sound, and it is associated with sludge metal as well. Its music draws on influences including Crowbar, Down, Black Sabbath, Clutch, Motörhead and High on Fire.

The line-up consists of Tommy Hardrocks on guitar and vocals, Adam “Bad-Dog” Williams on bass and backing vocals, and David Wilbraham on drums. The band’s stated approach combines heavy riffs, guitar solos and groove-focused melodies.
