22-20s
22-20s are an English blues rock band, formed in 2002 in Sleaford, Lincolnshire. The band consists of Martin Trimble (vocals, guitar), Glen Bartup (bass), James Irving (drums), Charly Coombes (keyboards, 2002-06), Dan Hare (guitar, 2008-13). The band originally disbanded in December 2005 before reforming in 2008 and releasing Shake/Shiver/Moan in 2010 and Got It If You Want It in 2012. They disbanded for a second time in early 2013, before reforming again in late 2019.
The band's songs have regularly featured in adverts and films, most notably "Devil in Me" which was featured on the Vauxhall Astra television commercial in early 2016 and later a commercial for the Racing Post. They have also featured on numerous high-profile soundtracks, including the Guy Ritchie film RocknRolla, London Boulevard, Cry Wolf, Stoned, One Tree Hill, and Driver: San Francisco.
The band first signed a publishing deal with EMI subsidiary Heavenly Records, after the band had sent a demo to the Heavenly Social venue in Nottingham which was owned by the label, and the label founder Jeff Barrett went to see the band supporting Wilko Johnson. They released their debut single, "Such A Fool", as a limited edition 7" in April 2003. This was followed up by the six-track live EP 05/03 (recorded May 2003) in September 2003, a decision which was influenced by the fact they were first noticed on the strength of their live show. The band then released their self-titled studio debut album in September 2004.

The band recorded one session for the show in 2004. Peel also broadcasted their live set from Glastonbury 2004 on the show, as well as a track on his last ever BBC Radio One programme, before he died of a heart attack in Peru during his holidays.
