A conversation with Jim McPaul of the band Tilted. Born at the Jersey Shore in 2009, Tilted started out as a hard rock cover band influenced by the likes of KISS, AC/DC, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Metallica and many others from that genre of music. However, it wasn’t until Tilted added a few originals to their lineup that they became noticed by clubs and landed regular gigs at the Red Lion in Brick, NJ, Cranberries in Manchester, NJ, The Landmark Tavern in Sayreville, NJ, and The Dugout Pub in Staten Island, NY. As the original songs grew more popular, Tilted proceeded to land more prominent gigs at venues like the legendary Stone Pony in Asbury Park NJ, as well as the “home of original music”, the Brighton Bar in West Long Branch, NJ.
In 2012, Tilted became more serious with their original songwriting talents and put together a new lineup
With all original songs, Tilted hit the shore once again becoming regular staples at the Brighton Bar, opening up for national acts such as Hookers and Blow (ft. Dizzy Reed of G n R), Anvil, Corky Laing (from Mountain) and Tantric. Tilted also opened for well known acts such as Prophet and Judas Priestess at the Stone Pony and has been requested personally by Don Jamieson (That Metal Show) to play in several of his shows at the Brighton which were huge hits. As 2017 approached, Tilted got their 1st show at the infamous 2500 capacity venue Starland Ballroom in Sayreville NJ opening for Udo Dirkschneider from Accept. Just recently, Tilted got chance to open for NJ's own SKID ROW at the Starland Ballroom! This was one of the most biggest shows for Tilted. Big shows at the Starland Ballroom continued with Dokken and the legendary KISS original guitarist Ace Frehley.
