The 20Belows is a melodic punk rock band from Copenhagen, Denmark. With inspiration from bands such as the The Ramones, Screeching Weasel and The Queers, the unique song writing style combines both a large variety of tempi but also displays a welcoming textual universe.

Since 2001 they have played shows all over Europe and USA with bands such as The Used, Volbeat, Groovie Ghoulies, Epoxies, Rise Against, The Queers, Mcrackins, Deadbolt, Teenage Bottlerocket, Zatopeks, The Apers, The Swingin Utters, and many more. It is also here that the bands’ prolific force really shines, as they are to be considered an extremely tight and interactive live band.

In times where youthculture is directed almost exclusively by record- and fashionlabels and the term “POP-PUNK” is firmly anchored in the mainstream, there are still always exceptions, that, despite the current bizarre trends, follow a clear line!

One of the few representatives of this “species” is originally from Klagenfurt, Austria – DeeCRACKS, which are, since their start in 2003, uncompromisingly staying true to their vision of Rock’n’Roll!

Short and concise three chords power pop-punk rock songs, energetic live shows and the attribute of not to take themselves to seriously are in no doubt the roots of the ‘CRACKS’.
