Rocktober '00s Song #18: "Sinister Minister" by Township (2008)

Next up in our Halloweek Rocktober selections is "Sinister Minister" from the Boston-based hard rock group Township.  Formed out of the ashes of Runner & The Thermodynamics in the mid aughts by Runner's lead singer and guitarist Marc Pinansky, Township was one of my favorite bands from the '00s.  They played good, old-fashioned rock & roll, harkening the classic rock of the late '60s and early '70s.

In 2008, they released their first two full-length albums, first Coming Home and then their self-titled sophomore album.  "Sinister Minister" is the first track of their second album, and it's a badass, fast-paced hard rock song with a great repeating riff.  Unfortunately, I couldn't find a studio version of the song on YouTube, but I did find a few live recordings, and the one I've embedded below seems to be the best quality.
