22-20s
Band Sleaford United Kingdom Formed 2002
22-20s formed in 2002 in Sleaford, United Kingdom. 22-20s has 3 chart appearances on 3 radio countdowns from 3 stations on RockLists, spanning 2005–2010. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Latest Heartbreak”, which appears on 2 lists with a best position of #69. The station that charted 22-20s most often is CD101 (Columbus, OH), with 1 appearance. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2010.
22-20s crawled out of Sleaford, Lincolnshire, in 2002 with the blues on their breath and no interest in manners. Their self-titled debut arrived in 2004, and "Devil in Me" was the song that did the damage: a greasy, strutting stomp that makes English blues rock sound like something you'd get thrown out of a pub for. Heavenly Recordings and Astralwerks are the labels on their records.
They burned out fast the first time, calling it quits in December 2005, then patched things up in 2008 and came back with Shake/Shiver/Moan in 2010, home of "Latest Heartbreak", and Got It If You Want It in 2012. Early in 2013 they split again, and late in 2019 they were back once more; Martin Trimble and Charly Coombes are the names in the current lineup.
Their songs have had a long second life on screens big and small. "Devil in Me" turned up in a Vauxhall Astra commercial in early 2016 and later in one for the Racing Post, and the band's music has found its way onto the soundtracks of Guy Ritchie's RocknRolla, London Boulevard, Cry Wolf, Stoned, One Tree Hill and Driver: San Francisco.
