Day 708 - Tilt - Libel

For those who don't know, I am listing my 10,000 favorite songs in this blog. This will take just under 30 years from start to completion. This blog can be found at Blogger, Livejournal for your convenience.

DAY 708
Tilt - Libel
From "'Til It Kills"
Year: 1995




This was released in 1995. Green Day was probably the closest thing to punk rock I had heard at the time. Over the years that changed primarily due to some research, and two very cool bosses I had at different jobs. Dave introduced me to the music of the Misfits, and the "This is Boston, Not L.A." compilation. Mark introduced me to NOFX, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, and many of the bands on the Fat Wreck Chords label.

Fat Wreck Chords offers CD samplers for a very reasonable price, so it didn't take long for me to go out and buy all of them that I could get my hands on. This particular song can also be found on the second compilation: "Survival of the Fattest".

Cinder Block (the lead vocalist) has a great melodic voice, but she can sound raw and abrasive too. Just look up anything by her more recent band, "Retching Red" for proof.
