The 22-20s Split Up

According to Gigwise, Lincolnshire trio The 22-20s have split up. The band have decided to call it a day after four years together and blamed excessive touring and musical differences for the split.

A source very close to the band told Gigwise: “After four years of being together the band have split. Lead singer Martin Trimble blamed the split on 18 months of touring the debut album, preventing them from working on a follow up.

“The band had moved to New York but they were finding the writing process difficult.

“It was said that Trimble wanted to change their musical direction much to the reluctance of other members, however Trimble is now going to pursue a solo-career.”

The 22-20s have also completely shut down their website confirming their demise.

[Blink_mark]

who

[rock_the_casbah]

That's crap! They were such a fresh new bluesy talent!

[FunkedUp]

Shit! Hopefully the musical differences were that Trimble wanted to go bluesier and his solo stuff will be cool.
They're wrong, there are 4 of them: guitar/vocals, bass, drums, keyboard; the keyboardist just wasn't officially in the band originally.

[Crazy Diamond]

This is a damn shame. I was looking forward to a follow-up.

[Portuguese_boy]

I never heard of them

[whhlives]

Finally, proof there is a God!

[Rakooga]

Sad news, they were a good live band.

[whhlives]

let me restate my comment. The 22-20's sucked and I am ecstatic that they are no longer together. My prayers have been answered, forever and ever, Amen.

[Robert_Terry]

They were a uk rock/indi band that were just plain average. So long to some more generic music

[Stuminton]

[Cynoxx]

note that it was completely sarcastic.

[rock_the_casbah]

Someone tell me why some jackass called them average and 'generic'? They are the bluesiest band I've known to come out of the UK in the 2000's!

[X_Tears_X]

...the who? ... ... ...

[Mr. Kill]

lmfao who the f8888 r they?? :P

[utsapp89]

Decent band. I won't really miss them or anything.

[Mik3_D]

Thanks 22-20's for realising you suck and doing the right thing.

[Bobbington]

why is it that alright bands split up and leave us with 50 Cent, Eminem and other rappers all doing the same thing over and over again. same goes for hip-hop, i often find that if i hear one on the radio i've essentially heard all r & b, hip-hop and rap music EVER.

[ArcherTheVMan]

i guess now ther the 22s and the 20s. sori had to do it

[thefinalcut]

Blues, barely. Haven't heard of them till now. Listened to a few songs and they're like alternative rock with some blues based influence. Rolling Stones and White Stripes comparisons are bollocks. They dohave a few Bruce Springsteen sounding songs.

[Burdell]

thats a shame. i really liked them.

[becks_23]

god would bands stop splitting up, this sux

[VoodooChild15]

I liked 'em. Too bad.

[joyful womble]

nooooo!!!! not the 22-20s!!!!!


:rolleye
s:

[pitbull510]

what in gods name are the 22-20's?

[Mik3_D]

There are a lot of stupid band names but it seems to be a sure sign of a shitty band when they use random numbers instead of words.

[BassBeats098]

they were on the warped tour 05 on a small stage.

[INDUSTRIALMETAL]

They had some good stuff on their last album.

[stringmagician]

whats the point of making a post asking who they are?

they we're a better band than a lot of new stuff, its a shame

and please, listen to an album before bashing a band, or your ignorance will make you look stupider than you are, or maybe your just that stupid

[insanejuggaloo]

well to all u *******s that spend ur time praying that bands will split up (espically bands that most people never even heard of) really need to get a life.

[Loggo]

I`ve got their debut album.Now they could`ve been good.Wasted talent.
