About Me

Despite being hailed as a 'supergroup' sounding like 'The Who on steroids with an Afro-Latin twist' (The Boston Phoenix), TOWNSHIP took the stage at the 2007 29th Annual WBCN Rock n' Roll Rumble as virtually unknown. After sweeping the competition in all 3 rounds, the secret soon revealed itself that the band contained Vermont native and Cancer Conspiracy drummer, Greg Beadle and Boston's Runner and the Thermodynamics frontman, Marc Pinansky and Spitzz's John Sheeran. In just a year and a half, Township has been featured in internationally released commercials and videos, and shared stages with acts ranging from Incubus and Perry Ferrel, to the Fiery Furnaces and Richard Lloyd of Television. With two EP's under their belt and a full length due in November, these classic rock worshiping guys don't just live the music, they are the music.
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.
