Broadjam Artist: Powerklash
Song: Climb

Reviewer: Jeff Roberts

Positive Comments: This has a Breaking Benjamin sort of vibe to me. It’s heavy and very very tight with a number of subtle arrangement moments perfectly designed and executed. The drum track has fantastic groove with a rolling feel and big accents on 2 & 4 that propel the tune. The vocal performance is passionate with lyrics/melody/phrasing the work extremely well in the tune. This is radio worthy Modern Rock.

Constructive Comments: The vocal is a bit too dry and close. You need to boost it with a bit more doubling and distance with reverb/delay to taste. Me I love hard guitars but really dislike piercing “bee in a beer can” solo tones. Personal taste but I’d like a more mellow, yet agressive tone on the solos. I think you might be 10 years too late on the vibe, but this ain’t my listening area so maybe not? Nice work regardless. Ever listen to Ian Thornley and Big Wreck?

Song: Will It

Reviewer: Jeff Roberts

Positive Comments: There are some very fresh ideas with an almost Classical/Romantic feel in the intro and a cool 505 old school beat. It’s a cool vibe with a lot of room for growth!

Constructive Comments: It’s a cool intro but I think it runs too long before you get into the main part. It’s mostly vibe right now–let’s see what else you can do with it!!

Positive Comments: Great up-tempo reggae song!Great guitars flowing through the layers, you got skills!Drum and bass holding it steady with a simple drum roll

Constructive Comments: Bass levels too low.Guitars running the show a bit too much, try having the guitar chasing the bass inbetween a skanking guitar on verus/chorus

Reviewer: Kevin Leon Smith

Positive Comments: Always a plus to have a happy messege in a song and in life!
