DOWNLOAD: Township, "Sandy" (mp3)It’s been just less than a year since
Township cemented their place in Boston rock history, joining the ranks of
the Neighborhoods,
the Dresden Dolls, and, uh,
Slaughter Shack with a victory in the 29th Rock ’n’ Roll Rumble. And now, as local
message-
boarders squabble over this year’s just-announced Rumble line-up, Township have finally quenched the thirst of the so-called “Townies” — the band’s fans, who have been patiently snacking on the band’s
Ladywood EP in anticipation of a full-length — with the release of
Coming Home. “Sandy,” like most Township songs, looks back to the ’70s, and what it finds is the jaunty shuffle and the guitarmonies of “
The Boys Are Back in Town,” over which frontman Marc Pinansky waxes optimistic about a troubled relationship.
