1208 (generally pronounced "twelve-o-eight" or "twelve-zero-eight") was an American punk rock band from Hermosa Beach, California that formed in 1994.

The name "1208" came from the apartment number they first shared. They released two full-length studio albums on Epitaph Records: Feedback Is Payback (2002) and Turn of the Screw (2004). Their song "Fall Apart" from Turn of The Screw was featured on the popular PlayStation 2 and Xbox game Burnout 3.

In November 2006, the band was reported to be working on a third album,{{cite web |url=http://www.punkbands.com/news/10121/ |title=1208 Working On New Album |publisher=Punkbands.com |accessdate=2009-03-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090706105218/http://www.punkbands.com/news/10121/ |archive-date=2009-07-06 |url-status=dead }}{{cite web |url=http://www.europunk.net/news/9515 |title=1208 to release another one? |publisher=Europunk.net |accessdate=2009-03-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090706191656/http://www.europunk.net/news/9515 |archive-date=2009-07-06 |url-status=dead }} however the album never materialized.
