It’s always good to know that not everything in this industry has gone to pot. Many years ago, in a time before Take That, bands gained a name for themselves through touring rather than simple airplay across the glove.

They’ve been known for a long time now – but the 22-20s are yet to even release their first album. Its launch may still be two weeks away – but more than enough people have turned up to great the foursome.

Juxtaposing songs that leave your temples pounding and slower, lighter, acoustic number – The 22-20s certainly show versatility that many bands seem to lack. Already seasoned performers – with great things to come – The 22-20s are still growing. They have a sound that is not just truly awesome, but a sound that leaves your mind elsewhere. It may be memories past that their songs trigger or it may be something else – the fact is that they do exactly what musicians are meant to do. Trigger a response.

One other very important thing – The 22-20s know how to rock.
