Karmatruffle
is a band with something to say. Signed to an independent label
after only six months together, the band has been delighting
audiences all over the country with its raw brand of sixties-influenced
power pop. The band's first single, ‘She's Not All That,’
was released in July 2005. This is what Alan Haber, host of
the Pure Pop radio show, had to say about it: "I'm absolutely
floored! This is great pop-rock, well-written, bowing to the
past, but very much here in the present. I'm knocked out by
all three songs on offer: the rocking ‘A Better Way,’
the Who-meets-garage rocker ‘She's Not All That,’
and the very sixties mid-tempo pop song ‘Let It Go,’
with its entrancing melody and hooky chorus (also, very cool
guitars). The whole package rocks with confidence: great vocals
and songs, and the playing chops to make it all happen. A full
length is on the way? I hope it comes soon...these songs left
me wanting more. You guys are very talented!" Luckily for
Alan the full-length is available now from Solarise Records
in the UK! Released on the Rockhopper Records label, the album
thrillingly captures Karmatruffle’s live sound and covers
every aspect of its diverse repertoire. From the Small Faces
influenced ‘I Wanna See You Again’ to the Mersey-sound
of ‘Trying To Get Out Of The Rain’, it’s clear
that Karmatruffle is still indebted to its sixties heroes. However,
more contemporary influences can be felt on tracks such as the
indie-rockers ‘Burned Out’ and ‘Humankind,’
and in the Elliott Smith-esque introspection of ‘Sugar
Baby.’ Check out Karmatruffle’s ‘What You
Do Comes Back To You’ for yourself and see what all the
fuss is about!
