Broadjam Artist: HarryBudini
Song: WantYou

Reviewer: Tyler Peters

Positive Comments: I enjoyed the organ a bit. The rest of the instruments where quality but did not seem to mesh well to me. Pretty original content, not something I’ve really heard before. I think could turn into something very interesting all the parts need to find a way to complement each other more. The vocals where interesting very original voice.

Constructive Comments: You can tell there’s a lot of talent and creativity going on here. But all the separate parts seem to be playing different songs. Almost seems a bit forced to make something different. Again lot of potential here. All the parts of the picture are pretty just hasn’t been put together in the right order.

Broadjam Artist: Ante Novaselic
Song: If & When

Reviewer: Tyler Peters

Positive Comments: Great production very good mix, really enjoyed the reverbed guitar along with the vocals. Was that a tremolo also? The acoustic guitar had a folky almost country twang to it, with a very bright sound. They got a great recording from that instrument. The vocals where soft and spacey and while I wasn’t blown away by the lyrics they fit the feel of the song very well.

Constructive Comments: The percussion instruments where a bit low on the mix. It took me awhile to find them when listening but when I did I like what they did with them, had a bit of a tribal feel which I love. I also feel like there could of been a bit more variety as far as the electric guitar goes, maybe a slow an spacey solo.

Broadjam Artist: Blame It On Cain
Song: The Turn

Reviewer: Memorybank

Positive Comments: Solid! This song is very well done.

Constructive Comments: I hear reminiscence sounds of Green Day and Nirvana and that is not a bad thing. It has a punk vibe equal with grunge that is fun and moving. This song is arranged to where it would be impossible to get bored of it. Great job!

Broadjam Artist: Signal 30
Song: Say Herrah!

Reviewer: Wave The Flag

Positive Comments: Unique sound with a way of using awkwardness to fit a mood.

Constructive Comments: I keep visioning a pleasant but very bad drunk, spilling things and smiling down the street. The absence of vocals makes the song empty. It is catchy enough to listen to for a bit, but not moody enough to justify a film soundtrack. It sounds great as a part of a larger song that has not been made yet.

Broadjam Artist: Powerklash
Song: Kick Ass

Reviewer: Memorybank

Positive Comments: Complication did not kill the mood in this track. crazy arrangement like Mr Bungle!

Constructive Comments: I am not worthy to give any criticism for this song. It is 3 songs rolled into one. The changes are sometimes abrupt…but I feel it was intentional…so rock on!

Broadjam Artist: James Burns
Song: My Blueridge Mountain Home (Demo)

Reviewer: John Masarone

Positive Comments: Good song. The performance is great. The sound quality and mix is pretty much spot on. I believe the song has marketability. I could hear it in an ad for sure. “Take me home.” What is more positive than that?

Constructive Comments: The only comment I have is the structure of the song is very linear. There are no parts where the song moves forward to the next level. Maybe as the song plays use different instrumentation, different drum beat, add a tambourine toward the end, background singers kick in, modulate a whole step, etc. But if an advertiser needs 15 seconds forget everything I just mentioned. You’ll be fine.
