Artist description Pounding tribal beats, crisp acoustic guitar, blurring electric guitar all combine along thick bass lines to form a perfect seam. A rich voice belts lyrics so real that it leaves hair standing on the back of your neck. This is the music experience of 420.

Artist History Formed in 1997, 420 has quickly established themselves as one of the top rock acts in the Chicago/Metro area. In 1998, 420 released the four-song CD "In For Twenty". The disc was praised by critics and fans alike and earned 420 a 1999 RAMI Critics Choice for best Composition of the Year and a 2000 RAMI for best Hard Rock Band. This helped solidify a strong fan base in their home town of Rockford, Illinois. In 1999, 420 entered The Noise Chamber recording studio (Cheap Trick, The Pimps, Big Hello) to complete their long-awaited follow-up, "Desensitized". This 10-song CD has a more mature sound and first-rate production. With a new and improved line-up, live shows are more powerful than ever.
