Yes, we have another smash hit from Red On Red Records! Justine Covault continues to build one of the most extraordinary label rosters in the world of underground music which features (but is not limited to) so many of the amazing bands and artists that call Boston their home. The Family Township, the latest addition to the Red On Red family, has been beloved in Boston since 2006. The band has released several albums and EPs. The band members are Marc Pinansky (vocals, guitar), Alejandro Necochea (lead guitar), James Rohr (keys), John Sheeran (bass), and Peter MacLean (drums). The band's debut release for Red on Red, "Cross the Line (Oh Andrea)," is the perfect single for the rapidly approaching summertime. This true-life love story penned by Pinansky is the kind of song that will get your heart racing and your fists pumping. With its anthemic energy and unabashed romantic sensibility, this track could easily pass for a deep cut radio hit from the late '70s or early '80s. I'm always a sucker for big hook classic rock, and I'm always a sucker for an uplifting love song. Put those two together, and it's not surprising that I loved this tune from the opening note. Pinasky puts on a clinic on how to write a great chorus, and the musical performances are stellar across the board. And those lyrics....wow! "Cross the Line (Oh Andrea)" reminds me of all those soaring heart-on-sleeve pop anthems I heard when I was 9 or 10 years old that made me want to grow up and fall in love. The fact that it's autobiographical makes it all the more powerful. This tune is a must-have for your summer playlist.
