SWEET TALK: “Like Sabbath and Purple but Blacker and Deeper.” – The Boston Phoenix

“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

“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

Review of TERRIBLE TWO’S  cd from website VICTIM OF TIME

Criminal IQ Records has released the spine-cracking debut LP by Detroit’s Terrible Twos this week, and with all of the jabbering on about their collision of the Piranhas’ greatest moments, along with an acidic and breathtaking stab into the 21st century’s limitless punk fusions, it’s without a doubt, one of the Motor City’s best full-length releases in a long time. Almost as if the power and slanted viciousness of their odd angles were as eruptive as an unpredictable volcano, the Terrible Twos really pulled it together into a tight foot-long of furious and erratic punk carnage that will be tough to follow. As one of the premier groups in the post-hype Detroit aftermath along with fellow bands, Red Red Red, Tyvek, Odd Clouds, and Human Eye, it always seemed like the Terrible Twos were the bunch that had the most ambition to get their noise to the outer regions, and were perpetually on the road, paying their dues and winning over new fans on a daily basis. You could even tell from their debut 7″ on X! Records that what they were doing was just slightly off on their own tangent, and despite all the comparisons and affiliations, it’s now time to hold Terrible Twos in their own regard as one of the high points of 21st century Detroit punk.
