On their self-titled full-length debut, the 22-20s craft a more traditional, and more British, take on blues-inflected rock than
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club or
the White Stripes, two of the bands most often mentioned when describing this young, prolifically touring band.
22-20s reveals a group far less trippy than
BRMC and not nearly as fiery and arty as
the Stripes; they're actually more like the British equivalent of blues-rock standard-bearers such as
the Black Keys. Shades of
the Yardbirds color the revved-up guitars and harmonicas on "Devil in Me," while the band's first single, "Such a Fool," updates the dour, spare sound of
Eric Burdon & the Animals only slightly.
