Twenty Twenty are a pop punk band based in London, Cambridge and Essex, UK. They are made up of lead vocalist/guitarist Sam Halliday, brother and bassist/vocalist Jack Halliday, and drummer/vocalist Sonny Watson-Lang. The band have supported acts such as The Wanted, The Saturdays, Avril Lavigne, Scouting For Girls, Big Time Rush and Selena Gomez. Festival appearances have included playing with JLS, Diversity, and McFly. July 2010 saw the band play at the O2 Arena with The Saturdays, and Tinchy Stryder. In early 2011 Twenty Twenty supported The Saturdays on a UK tour throughout February and March and supported The Wanted in March and April. 17 April 2011 saw the release of the band's new single and their first release signed to a major label. Their debut album "Small Talk" was released on 2 May 2011.
On 10 January 2014 Sam and Jack officially announced the band's split on the sugarscape website after drummer Sonny Watson-Lang's departure from the band six months earlier.
Sam and Jack were originally in a band called 'AtianA'. Their drummer dropped out to go to university, leaving Sam and Jack to find a replacement drummer. A friend of theirs recommended Sonny (who was originally in his own band 'Nothing Can Prove it'), and they called him down for a few trials. They got along straight away, and from then on Sonny has been the permanent drummer. The band members came together in the final months of 2008 and formed the name Twenty Twenty in February 2009, where they performed their first live show at the Barhouse in Chelmsford. They have since toured extensively as a support act and also as a headline act, where they have sold out venues throughout the UK. The group are particularly known for their active online presence across popular social network sites, which has helped enable them to gain a large viral following.
