... , 22-20s is a debut album that captures a young trio approaching the raw materials of classic rock 'n' roll - to name a choice few: love; lust and frustration - and making them their own. Their first release, the live EP 05/03 showed a group in love with the spirit of the blues. The full-length 22-20s, meanwhile, sees that spirit loving them right back.
This brand new self-titled album is on fire with that purity of purpose: to make a record that would do justice to the band's 21-year-old singer/songwriter/guitarist, Martin Trimble's songs, and best convey the rawness of the interplay between himself and Glen Bartup (21, bass), James Irving (20, drums) and Charly Coombes (keyboards). 22-20s formed three years ago and named themselves after the Delta bluesman Skip James's piano-led 22-20 Blues. This was a group that, from the start, was reading from its own fairly eccentric map. Mixed in the US by Rich Costey, songs like "Devil In Me," "Hold On," "Such A Fool," "Why Don't You Do It For Me" and dark, thunderous "Shoot Your Gun" show a group confident in their abilities, but also anxious to move things on, to show what else they can do.
