With sludgy grooves, scorching solos, and Southern Gothic operas, Township fires off a series of timeless anthems that resonate like sun-bleached Polaroids." - Boston Magazine, October 2008 .... "The band had my attention from the get-go, especially with the song "Highway," which has this irresistible build to it; it's now one of my favorite driving songs. The buzz at the show was late 70's sound, and comparisons to Faces and Lynyrd Skynyrd were made; all I know is, when the band locked eyes with the audience and said "Let's get sexy," (tearing out the song "Big Bad") it made me get sexy, too....Rochester likes you, too, Township." - Rochester City Newspaper, May 2008 ....

    Hey,

    Thanks for the connection !

     
    Tell me when are these times that I have dreams about
    Are they mere memories of better days gone by
    Unsubstantial fancies fated to fade away
    Or horizons waiting to be arisen to ? 

    And the fire I felt when this hope was brand new 
    When not even Everest could have kept me from you
    Has it burned its brightest or just given a hint
    Does it smolder for chance or consume its last fuel ?

    And the bridge you promised would serve as my footing
    Had I strayed from the path or was my step unsure
    Perchance that fall was meant to complete my healing
    So I'd see for myself what my strength could endure ?

    Weren't you the blue bird that had awaken me
    As I laid in the cold suffering of torment
    Sung me out of starving, loathing and lethargy
    Invited me to rise and resume my ascent ?

    As I now look forward to more of your magic
    Contemplating what so far had kept me bemused
    Just ahead are the times I have dreamt ecstatic
    I see the horizons and I am reinfused


    Best wishes,
    Chris
