    Press Reviews
    The Anchorage Press: Nov 9-15, 2000"Lesley Rostron, the Truffles? attractive 20-year-old lead singer hails from a rustic Alaska town and currently lives in LA, playing coffee shops, makingcontacts in the industry, and sounding nothing like Jewel. Recorded in Haines (home base for these pop rockers), Aftertaste serves 11 catchy songs... One standout track, "Delirium," revolves around catchy piano and melancholy vocals, while a dynamite chorus and Van Halen-esque guitar work by Rostron'sfather Mike drives "Raining" " _Matt Hopper, Anchorage Press
