I hadn’t heard of 22-20s until I happened to catch the last half of their performance of “Shoot Your Gun” on Last Call with Carson Daly early last week. Yes, Carson Daly. And I still don’t know too much about them, so this will be a relatively short write-up. Their debut album comes out in April and the few critics’ reviews that I’ve see are complimentary. Here are a few comments…
“22-20s take as much from the Rolling Stones as they do from Elmore James … and for a youthful band as this, their concoction of garage junk blues is bubbling with pleasure.”
“22-20s deliver a sonic blast of guitar-drenched blues and thunderous rock n’ roll, all with a focus on songwriting rarely seen from such a young, raw talent.”
