Press Reviews Opening with "Mean To Me" the band sets in motion a package of radio-friendly songs with some much needed emotion and energy. Let's hope someone is smart enough to pick these guys up. --www.metalrules.com<br><br>They play the part well for an excellent opening act for any hard rocker. Their sound is also universal enough to cross barriers and reach into other markets. If you like STP, Tool, White Zombie and good old heavy rock, you should take an immediate liking to 20FTWide. I don't know where these guys have been hiding, but look for them to break big sometime soon. --Long Island Entertainment<br><br>Take the stinging guitars of Soundgarden and match them against the tribal drumming of Soulfly and you'll have an idea of where 20FTWide are coming from. Heave-ho rhythms and chanted vocals that tug you into the guitar sludge. Don't fight it. --NBC Interactive<br><br>And coming to the sound of the band, we can definitely say we are impressed. The quality of the songs (even in Real Player goddamit!) is excellent, and the songs themselves are exceedingly catchy. In fact one of the reasons we like them so is the fact that we could hear just a little bit of Ozzy Osbourne during the break of one song (hey! come on! Ozzy rocks... :) -- www.shoeshine.comBut don't just take it from us. Go check out their website where amongst other things, you may even find the odd screensaver to download!
