SWEET TALK:
"With so many bands looking to the 80's for inspiration, rummaging through the dustbins of a more distant past may seem like a revelation. So it goes on the new self-titled album of Boston-based Township (out 10/28) on tracks like "Beaver Fever" and "Sinister Minister," where the songs are as good as their titles' rhymes and the band works up a churning 70's funk while it sweats out classic riffs. 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
"The Who on steroids with and Afro-Latin twist" - The Boston Phoenix
"Hefty drum beats, devastating guitar explosions, some Who-style vocals and we're just happy as clams to give them some love" - Light in the Attic
"Township’s awe-inspiring rock histrionics are very present and the hits literally keep coming...Coming Home is a round-trip ending with a perfect nine-minutes-and-change finale that ends somewhere on the dark side of the moon. But by then, you’ll just want to start over again." - Northeast Performer

Live From WBCN Band Camp
TOWNSHIP powers through latin, psych, southern,
folk and fantasy all with a classic rock sensibility.
With lyrics focused as much on the current state of politics,
environment and human relations as magical mares and enchanted lakes,
Township creates a timeless, not dated, good time.
where can i get a copy of that bm linx remix. i'm gonna sneak it into all the hipster parties i frequent and next thing you know you guys are the next mgmtmstrkrftafxtwin in buffalo.
We all drove home from Iowa City in fog of sadness. Partly because the rock was over for the night, but mainly because our friends were going back home, so far from us. Glad that you guys got back safe and hope that you converted many to the righteous ways of The Family.
