22-20s

Having just introduced their "brand new smoking great material" (Back Beat, Seattle) to North American audiences on a recent tour with Band of Skulls and the Whigs, 22-20s have confirmed another slew of dates that will take them through the June 22nd release of their first album for tbd/ATO records, Shake/Shiver/Moan.

22-20s, a British band, originally formed in Sleaford, Lincolnshire disintegrated scarcely two years after their acclaimed 2004 self titled debut LP. In 2008, a reconstituted version of the band reformed around the founding nucleus of singer/guitarist Martin Trimble, bassist Glen Bartup and drummer James Irving, adding Dan Hare on guitar and backing vocals.

The band showcased a wealth of radically new material ranging from the uptempo rock of single and digital live EP namesake "Latest Heartbreak" and album title track "Shake/Shiver/Moan" to the classic morning-after bluespop of "Let It Go" and "4th Floor." The "Latest Heartbreak" live EP is currently available for free download at http://the22-20s.com/

Shake/Shiver/Moan, will feature the studio versions of the tracks from the live EP and six other brand new 22-20s numbers.

22-20's will be featured with a My Space Homepage Album Premiere on June 5th. The bandl be on tour with Cage The Elephant beginning June 8th.

The single, "Latest Heartbreak" impacts Alternative on June 1st.
