The eclectic influences behind Raise the Roof typify the band’s all-embracing approach to genres. Funk, soul, reggae, ska, hip hop, afrobeat and drum and bass all combine in the intoxicating original sound that makes Full Tilt Collective a mainstay at venues and festivals across the UK’s alternative scene.

“We love listening to all different kinds of music, so we try to reflect that in what we play. Our one criteria for what makes the cut is - will this get a dancefloor moving”

Whilst they loved taking time to hit up the studio, playing live will always be Full Tilt Collective’s first love, with the band regularly gigging across the UK at venues including Rich Mix, Boxxed Birmingham and The Vaults as well as festivals such as Isle of Wight and Moovin. Their unruly performances often see the band blurring the barrier between musician and spectator, wading out into the crowd to play amongst the audience in a nod to the second line marching bands of New Orleans.

Full Tilt Collective - Raise the Roof EP

Download/Stream the release here: https://cygnusmusic.link/rbamann

Full Tilt Collective's new single features 2 tracks from the forthcoming EP Raise the Roof.  The lead track Insane Again blends a hip hop drum beat with nods to the big band era, including muted trumpets and call and response vocals that guarantee a crowd singalong when performed live. Two years of solitude leave their mark in a song that talks of a slipping grip on reality, becoming more frantic and impassioned as it builds to its heady climax.

B-side O.T.T (One Tonne Tone) launches with a blast of unapologetic instrumental funk; a crunchy riff juxtaposed against a ghostly trombone line. The song’s outro kicks into a new gear as overdriven guitar battles with a scorching sax solo which demonstrates the musicianship that complements the bands raucous energy.

Full Tilt Collective - O.T.T. (One Tonne Tone)

Full Tilt Collective - Insane Again

Taken from the new album by Full Tilt Collective,  The Window Song, is a bombastic, gypsy-punk oddity fusing klezmer and ska with wild Balkan brass. Perseverance may define the EP but chaos finally reigns supreme in the song’s ‘funeral march meets rave meets riot’ finale.
