Band info:
TRUFFLE were(are) a heavy rock band from Portsmouth(UK) and a very underrated gem
that gigged all over the UK in the 80's and early 90's. They released a
single “Round tower/If you really want” in 1981, a cassette single
“633 Squadron/Do you like heavy metal” in 1984 and the cassette album
“The bacon slicer strikes" .

The same band also formed a covers band which ran alongside TRUFFLE
in 1986 called the (Monday) MAFIA. Both bands gigged for several years
but gradually the boys found that more & more people in pubs wanted to
hear cover numbers & so the TRUFFLE gigs slowly fell off & the MAFIA ones
increased...until April 2011 at their 25th anniversary gig at the Heroes,
Waterlooville when TRUFFLE performed 3 songs live, the first time they had
done so in nearly 20 years.

In 2011 a German record company called HIGH ROLLER RECORDS remastered and
released most of the material TRUFFLE had recorded on 3 vinyl albums
“If you really want”, “1st Attempt” & “The bacon slicer strikes again”.
