Broadjam Artist: Signal 30
Song: Beyond This Life

Reviewer: Rocky Larson

Positive Comments: good piano playing overall instruments good

Constructive Comments: needs to invoke a feeling seems too predictable sounds familure to other songs

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Roberts
Song: The Emperor’s Clothes

Reviewer: Bobby Caputo

Positive Comments: How refreshing is this? I guess this is the definition of “Rock Classic”. It’s dated…sure, but has melody, pace and interesting lyrics. The main thing is the overall feel…hard to describe…maybe cos’ I was brought up with this type of …dare I say it, Beatlesque stuff. This is more Critters though…lol Great job!

Constructive Comments: Could have lived without the vocal talking inserts…didn’t really help the song at all..

Broadjam Artist: Patrick E. Muth
Song: HOW MUCH LONGER?

Reviewer: Bobby Caputo

Positive Comments: Pretty fun stuff…raw and wild with a preachy little lyric..”lately my angels been flying round in circles…satan creeps by my back door” good stuff..a real “live” feel…fun.

Constructive Comments: Recording uneven and the guitar fills pretty weak.

Broadjam Artist: Powerklash
Song: Climb

Reviewer: Bobby Caputo

Positive Comments: Very interesting lyrics and lyrical flow. Nice combination of metal and acoustic and electronic instruments…vocalist is very natural and expressive. Kind of an 80’s feel….or maybe even 70’s ..Smoke On The Water comes to mind…overall pretty cool…drums nicely done.

Constructive Comments: Although I like the lyrics…I don’t exactly understand them.

Broadjam Artist: FRED GROSS
Song: Everybody Needs Somebody

Reviewer: Jeff Maguire

Positive Comments: Has a very 60’s vibe to it and reminds me of some stuff by Quicksilver Messenger Service. nice soulful tune.

Constructive Comments: Mix is questionable in spots, rhythm guitars seem too up front, and vocals too far back in mix. In keeping with 60’s type vibe guitar tone might be a little clean, it even sounds like they might have been recorded direct. It’s a good song and overall the playing is solid but maybe the production can be upped a couple notches.

Broadjam Artist: Kate Carpenter
Song: Pow Pow Pow Instrumental

Reviewer: Powerklash

Positive Comments: Great drum sound. Good Production. Cool haunting vibe.

Constructive Comments: Maybe and only maybe a little less bass in the mix?

Broadjam Artist: Josh Walker
Song: Overdrive

Reviewer: Powerklash

Positive Comments: This might work for a scene in a power rangers cartoon?

Constructive Comments: Strange synth sound? Weird melody and synth sound is dated.

Broadjam Artist: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)
Song: Jagged Edge

Reviewer: Powerklash

Positive Comments: Great intro. Cool riffs.

Constructive Comments: The bass is loud in the mix though that may be the point?

Broadjam Artist: Charlie Shock
Song: UNDER YOU

Reviewer: Powerklash

Positive Comments: Great vocal. The vocal sits well in the mix and I like the raspiness of the vocal. Nice lyrics and cool hook.

Constructive Comments: Cool rock mix. Maybe a little less bass?

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: Days Without You / Rock & Roll

Reviewer: Powerklash

Positive Comments: Interesting ideas. The guitar playing is very melodic which we do not hear often enough.

Constructive Comments: Maybe you could bring the bass up in the mix? About half way through the song started to grow on me. Keep up the good work.
