Their full length album, "Axon Terminal Subversion," is available for download on Last.fm for free at this link.
The full history of the band is as follows:
There was this guy named Dave that messed around on a Squier P-Bass. Yeah, it was that sweet of a bass guitar. He got bored playing bass by himself. He started experimenting with a drum machine program on the PC and tried to make a self-recorded song. It turned out that Dave didn't know much about drumming. He asked his friend and drummer Daniel, who at the time lived on the other side of the state of California to make up some beats for him on the drum machine program and send them to him over the internet, kinda like those the Postal Service people. Dave arranged the beats into a song, then added bass guitar with various effects from his distortion/overdrive guitar pedal, bass chorus pedal and bass wah-wah pedal. Just one problem: Dave can't sing or write respectable lyrics. Solution? Don't have any. And this is how 12 O'Clock on a Subway was born in October of 2005.
A decent number of people decided they liked the instrumental music of 12 on their official MySpace website located at http://www.myspace.com/12oclockonasubway. Surprisingly, a decent number of people also offered to sing for 12, but scientists still aren't sure why. Five months after their formation, the duo finished recording enough songs for what could be considered a full length album, and gave it away for free on the internet.
With a purposely pretentious band name, nonsensical album title and ridiculous song titles to go with it, 12 O'Clock on a Subway released the long awaited and highly anticipated full length album titled "Axon Terminal Subversion" on January 31, 2006.
They also covered a Bloc Party song, "Helicopter," because Death From Above 1979 covered Bloc Party's "Luno" and 12 pretty much owes DFA their fan base, so why not cover Bloc Party too?
In the summer of 2006, 12 recorded and released one more song inspired by Chuck Norris titled "A Shadow in the Night."
"12" is currently enjoying rumors that they will reunite to play the infamous Coachella music festival. Keep your eye out for an album re-release in 2016.

Koitosuki
Samuzora no shita kuragari no machi kimi to boku to futari wa tada aruita
Iikaketa kotoba yozora ni kieru tameiki bakari no kimi wo utsusu mado GARASU
Hieta kimi no shiroi te wo boku no POKETTO ni shimaikomu
Sumikitta fuyu no sora kara orite kuru madoromi
PANORAMA machi no naka ni suberikomi NEON RAITO ga kieteku
Saishuu ressha ga PURATTOHOOMU kara toozakatte yuku
Futari wo nokoshite yoru wo shizumeru keiteki ga narihibiita
Te wo tsunaide hoshizora wo miagereba kimi to futarikiri no yakan hikou
Nijuugoji ni otozureta shijima no naka de kimi to boku to futari wa tatazundeita
Shiroi toiki no samusou na kimi usuakari no keikoutou kage wo otosu
Miageta kimi no shisen no saki ni ryuusei ga matatakeba
MONOKURO no chiisana yoru no machinami wo mitsukerareru
PANORAMA machi no naka wo nukedashi TEERU RAITO ga kasumu yo
Saishuu ressha ga PURATTOHOOMU kara toozakatte yuku
Futari wo nokoshite yoru wo shizumeru keiteki ga narihibiita
Te wo tsunaide hoshizora wo miagereba kimi to futarikiri no yakan hikou
Saishuu ressha ga PURATTOHOOMU kara mienaku naru made
Kono yoru no mukou made hashiri satteiku
Futari wa samuzora no shita

i'm not sure if this is right but i found them on a website!
You and I simply walked, under the cold sky in the dark city
The words I said disappeared in the night sky
Just a sigh on the windowpane that reflected you
Keep your cold, white hands in my pocket
A light sleep descending from the clear winter sky
The city panorama stretches out where the neon lights disappear
The last train leaves the platform leaving two people behind
The echo of the bell sinks into the night
If we hold hands and look up at the starry sky, you and I will fly alone through the night
You and I were standing together in the silence that accompanied 25:00
The white mist of your sigh looked cold in the dim fluorescent lights casting shadows
When you look up, a meteor blinks out beyond your line of sight
A monochrome cityscape under the small night sky
The taillights are leaving the panoramic city
The last train leaves the platform leaving two people behind
The echo of the bell sinks into the night
If we hold hands and look up at the starry sky, you and I will fly alone through the night
Until the last train disappears from the platform, I will run till the other side of this night
The two of us
Under the cold sky
Chipi Orozco
under the cold sky, the city of darkness, you, me, and the two us two just walked
The words I was about to say
The window glass that reflects you with a sigh disappearing in the night sky
i'll put your cold, white hands in my pocket.
A little sleep coming down from the clear winter sky
Slide into the panorama city and the neon lights go out
The last train is moving away from the platform
i left them alone, and the bell rang to sink the night.
Holding hands and looking up at the starry sky, a night flight alone with you
You and I were standing in the silence that I visited at 25 o'clock
You seem to be cold with a white sigh Fluorescent lamp in the dim light casts a shadow
As a meteor flashes ahead of your gaze that you looked up at
You can find a little black and white night cityscape
i'm going through the panorama city, and the taillights are going to fade.
The last train is moving away from the platform
i left them alone, and the bell rang to sink the night.
Holding hands and looking up at the starry sky, a night flight alone with you
Until the last train is no longer visible from the platform
Running away to the other side of this night
they're in the cold.
