Broadjam Artist: Cindy Dickenson
Song: On and On

Reviewer: Mitch Siegal

Positive Comments: Intro a bit like knocking on heavens door… solid lyrics

Constructive Comments: The second verse could use another instrument introduced like a solo cello or violin. Other than that is very good.

Reviewer: Lisa Vivienne

Positive Comments: Beautiful vocals and well thought out lyrics. I can almost hear this song in a cafe or loung/blues room. Lovely work! Well done!

Broadjam Artist: Randal Dunkle
Song: Thank A Vet

Reviewer: Douglas Branson aka dB+1

Positive Comments: The groove from the get go grabbed me and started me banging on the keys while typing in tempo – The driving tone gets hot when the tasty gritty lead guitar jumps in. This is a sinister and somber journey of sound and mood and mind. Back to the beginning to listen again. This is a high speed steamroller of a tune! The vocal delivery commands your full immersion in this tale.

Constructive Comments: This sounds like could be great for an image montage in a film…segue – The groove and vibe really has me…I am cranking my studio monitors…bullets of music are flying thru my head. ON The second go around (listen) the production feels good for this – I would say is a really good demo but I have heard tracks like this on tv and in films…the almost cheesey but important synth horn at the end describes the futility of bullets and blood. Really dug the track.

Broadjam Artist: Charlie Shock
Song: WAITING FOR YOU

Reviewer: Jeff Maguire

Positive Comments: This is really well done, tuneful , rocking, well arranged, just the right edge, and very disciplined by way of arrangement … really nice performances and song. Possibly a bit like Suzanne Vega but with a little sharper edge.

Constructive Comments: No real issues, I suppose the recording could be a little better and the bass booms a tad but it is lo/fi … as above, I think this is a great tune with a solid arrangement and just the right combination of tenderness and toughness. No one over plays , the move into full band was well timed … very rockin.

Song: BACK THEN

Reviewer: The Dots

Positive Comments: Song fits the genre. Lyrics are good. Vocals are delivered well for the genre. Takes me back to the early 90s and when college radio dictated the next big thing. The instrumentation and melody are on point for alternative rock and roll. Melodies and production/efffects are very well done. The emotion is conveyed very well by vocalist and backing vocals.

Constructive Comments: Please bring the lead vocals up during the verses a bit. There doesn’t seem to be a clear instrumental break. As a listener I need that, otherwise I feel that it just is one long lyrical outpouring. I need to reflect on what’s been said and team up with the singer. I want the singer to get the girl! Let me get on his side!

Broadjam Artist: Fred Kimmel
Song: Dance All Day

Reviewer: The Dots

Positive Comments: This is a very catchy tune. No mistake what it is about. Has the feel of The Cult/Soup Dragons. Vocals are perfect for this tune. Like the timbre and delivery. The production is very interesting too. The hokey pokey part in the middle is cool. The drums add a great feel. GREAT PARTY SONG! The guitar is on point.

Constructive Comments: Bring up the vocals in the chorus! This is completely a party song and I want to shout a long with a beer in one hand while I’m throwing my other fist in the air! I feel as though I’m missing the drums, all I’m hearing is snare. A lot of work went into the creativity into this song, polish up the production a bit and this is a hit.
