22-20s were an English blues rock band, formed in 2002 in Sleaford, Lincolnshire. 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.[1] They have also featured on numerous high-profile soundtracks, including the Guy Ritchie film RocknRolla,[2] London Boulevard, Cry Wolf,[3] Stoned,[4] One Tree Hill,[5] and Driver: San Francisco.[6]
