The long-running Boston rock band The Family Township is back with a killer double A-side single on Black Sword Records. On "Rosie Come Back" and "Autumn Bell," TFT finds the sweet spot where power pop and '70s FM rock meet — a sound the band has dubbed "sweet rock." If sweet rock is an actual genre, count me in as a huge fan. "Rosie Come Back" is a mid-tempo rocker, while "Autumn Bell" is ballad in the classic style. Both songs grab me with their sweet melodies, memorable hooks, and smooth vibes. In some alternate universe where great rock songs still get played on the radio, both of these tracks are in heavy rotation. They're beautifully-crafted tunes, and of course the singing and musicianship are top-notch. Marc Pinansky is one hell of a songwriter! The Family Township is working on a new album, so we'll have that to look forward to. In the meantime, you can crank the heck out of this new single. Warning: these songs are highly addictive and darn near unshakable.
