Rock 'n' Roll....definitely our cup of tee!
With so many festivals going on, rocking reunions, anniversaries and such - we thought it would be only fair to pay homage to some of the best rock bands around (past AND present!)
When it comes to retro inspired music t-shirts - we really do have quite a lot to shout about. With names like Chaser LA, Amplified Vintage, Junk Food and Worn Free - getting the Rock Chick look couldn't be easier!
Being a massive fan of anything Rock n Roll inspired, I thought I'd take you through my top 5 'rock' items on the site - and introduce you to some of the new ranges we've recently added.
First up, Rolling Stones- these cheeky chaps have just celebrated their 50th anniversary. Out of our collection of Rolling Stones clothing, this speckled sweater from Amplified Vintage has to be my favourite...perfect for wearing over a band tee!
Join the Kiss army, by showing your support for the iconic band with this Amplified Vintage Khaki t-shirt!

Win Exclusive Tickets to an Intimate Ed Sheeran Gig
Here at Truffle Towers we love working with a variety of worthy causes â be it sending piles of clothes to orphanages in Africa or sponsoring our local football team. Thereâs one charity weâve been really keen to support this year, and thatâs a local Bristol based charity called one25. The organisation aims to reach out to women trapped in street sex work, supporting them to break free and build new lives away from violence, poverty and addiction.
One25âs outreach van goes out 5 nights a week providing food, drink and support to Bristolâs most vulnerable ladies. The charity opens its doors as a drop-in centre five days a week, providing access to much needed healthcare, support, education, laundry, clothing and shower facilities. On top of all this amazing work, one25 provides one-to-one casework support in order to individually help each and every woman wanting to make a positive change to her life.
Whatâs this about Ed Sheeran?
Sometime last year, one25âs fundraiser extraordinaire, Lu Willot contacted a little known musician going by the name of Ed Sheeran and asked if heâd be interested in supporting the charity by playing a gig in a small venue in Bristol as a thank you to the charityâs fundraisers. Not only did Ed agree to play the gig, he also got his mate Luke Concannon (best known as the front-man of Nizlopi and writer of their famous JCB Song) to play alongside him. Little did Lu know that after agreeing to this intimate Bristol performance, Ed would have four Top 10 singles, one gold, two platinum and one triple platinum!
The BRIT-nominated artist explained his reason for supporting the cause....
"It's good to show insight that these people are real people with real emotions and they deserve the same charity work as anyone else." Ed, who shot to fame when his debut single 'The A Team' went straight to number 3 in the UK chart last summer will be playing at the imtimate Bristol venue The Fleece on May 22 and as organiser Lu says.....
