WE ARE THE FULL TILT COLLECTIVE.
Brass heavy, 12 person party-starters from London, playing an eclectic range of genres including funk, soul, rock, reggae, ska, hip hop and drum and bass.
Influenced by the likes of Hot 8 Brass Band, Funkadelic, Toots and the Maytals and Sly and the Family Stone, frontman and founder Nathan Thomas was inspired to start the band following a road trip from New Orleans to Nashville. Since their debut gig in September 2016, Full Tilt Collective have graced the stage at venues all over the UK including Rich Mix, The Blues Kitchen, The Bussey Building, Hootananny Brixton and Matt and Phreds, as well as festivals like Isle of Wight, Small World, Swingamajig and Sunrise. The band are currently preparing to release their fourth EP of original tunes.
An ever-growing collective of musicians, any one lineup features multiple vocalists, trumpets, trombones, baritone sax, tenor/alto sax, guitar, drums, percussion and sousaphone. With members of the Collective including graduates of Guildhall and Trinity Colleges of music, much of the band has a background in jazz music, resulting in bombastic solos to complement their heady riffs and raucous live show.
