Cinder Block (born Cynthia Morgan, May 13, 1961) is an American punk rock vocalist and visual artist.

[1] Cinder is most well-known as the lead vocalist for Tilt, a Fat Wreck Chords punk band.

[3] She was a part of Nebraska's punk rock scene in her youth and often visited a venue there called the Drumstick and the Zoobar, where well-known Los Angeles-based bands such as X and Meat Puppets would perform.

Growing up, she enjoyed plays by Sam Shepard and William Shakespeare, as well as existential poetry and the Beat Generation.

[5] In the mid-1980s, Cinder wrote a "punk rock opera," based on the mythological story of Agamemnon, called Hubris.

[5] In 2015, Cinder reunited with Tilt to play a one-off reunion show during a festival to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Fat Wreck Chords.

[11] In 1997, Cinder Block, Inc. had 14 full-time employees and was responsible for printing shirts and merchandise for Vans Warped Tour.

Aside from merchandising, Cinder Block, Inc. also offered full tour service, e-commerce, ticketing, and business development for its clients.

[11] In 2009, Transom Capital Group, a Los Angeles-based equity firm, acquired Cinder Block, Inc. from Jeffery Bischoff, who, by that point, only retained partial ownership of the business.

[3] Cinder has named Billie Holiday, Édith Piaf, Nina Hagen, Exene Cervenka, and Lady Gaga as vocal inspirations.

I've been struggling so hard just to get through the set that I haven't been able to concentrate on the ideas that I'm trying to get across, or making a connection with the people on stage or with the audience.
