Tilt is a punk rock group originating from the East Bay region of California, United States, established in 1992. Their first album, Play Cell, was issued by Lookout Records in 1993. Afterward, they joined Fat Wreck Chords, which handled the release of their subsequent records. The band’s members comprised Cinder Block on vocals, Jeffrey Bischoff playing guitar, Pete Rypins on bass, and Vincent Camacho on drums. Between February and April 1994, Tilt toured as the opening act for Green Day during the Dookie tour.
The track "Crying Jag" appeared on the soundtrack of the 1996 movie Glory Daze. Although Tilt briefly split up in 1996, they regrouped in 1997 with Jimi Cheetah from Screw 32 joining the lineup. A reunion concert planned for May 2011 at 924 Gilman Street was canceled due to an injury to their bassist and was never rescheduled. Nevertheless, they reunited for a performance at Fat Wreck Chords’ 25th anniversary festival in autumn 2015 and held another show on January 1, 2017, at 924 Gilman Street.
Apart from Tilt, Cinder Block fronted other punk outfits such as Retching Red, Fabulous Disaster, and The Pathogens.
