Jeff Tuttle grew up in
Flat Rock, Michigan and started going to
punk shows in the mid-1990s. He played in several bands, including Capture the Flag (Go Kart, Conquer the World, Happy Guy Records), Hyatt, Holocaust and Heads Will Roll, with whom he toured along with The Dillinger Escape Plan. In Summer 2007, following the departure of guitarist James Love from The Dillinger Escape Plan, Jeff Tuttle was the first person contacted by the band to fill-in because its bandleader
Ben Weinman was "impressed with his drive" and work ethic since he toured with him. On August 17, 2012, The Dillinger Escape Plan announced Jeff Tuttle's departure from the band on good terms in order to focus on film school and his other bands. They signed to No Rest Until Ruin Records. == Personal life ==
