20 Minute Mission
20 Minute Mission is a trio that calls Madison, WI home. With diverse influences and playing styles, the
group has brought a unique and refreshing aspect to punk rock/post-punk/alt-rock music by meshing styles
and abandoning stylistic dogma. Not confined by established roles, the members of the band actively
switch instruments from song-to-song and this shows in the diversity of sound that is 20 Minute Mission.
Drawing from their previous work: Mike (Band 3 of 10- from Minneapolis), Steve (Billingsgate-from
Chicago) and Joel (Rhinelander-from Milwaukee) have now all landed in Madison, WI and are looking to
combine their tastes and abilities into something that is their own, that you can tap your toes to. Not
letting COVID detour them, 20MM has recorded two EPs while in their bubble; the first was a self-titled,
8-song CD released in the summer of 2020 and they just finished recording at Audio of the Arts (located
in Madison, WI) and will be releasing a 7-song EP this Winter (2021). The song 29 Palms, off the
self-titled first EP, came in at #7 in Maximum Ink’s, New Year’s Eve poll of the top 41 songs for 2020 in
southern Wisconsin. Enjoy!
