"A transcendent bout of 70's stadium rock sounding like The Who on steroids with an Afro-Latin twist." - The Boston Phoenix
"A revelation. 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
"Even if you hadn't heard of Township before they rocked the competition off the stage...you must have by now." - The Boston Globe
"At the end of the December 1 Boston Music Awards, two members of local classic rock band Township (performing that night and nominated for Outstanding New Act, Outstanding Rock Band)camped out in a small hiding space underneath the back stage area. Armed with a bottle of Whiskey, the two spent the night in the 155 year old venue, emerging the next night in time to catch Neil Young's sold-out concert." - The Boston Herald
"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
"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 Paper
"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

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
