Broadjam Artist: Douglas Branson aka dB+1
Song: TV is Perfect

Reviewer: HellMuff

Positive Comments: Well, the kind of had a Jethro Tull meets the Violent Femmes vibe to it. Very original I must say. The more heard, the more I liked it. The guitar part was definitely catchy as were the vocals.

Constructive Comments: With all due respect, the audio wasn’t amazing, but I also understand not everyone has access to a major high end studio. My only other constructive criticism would be that I would like to hear an actual drum kit, as opposed to a drum machine or whatever was used as percussion. Keep it up though, you’re onto something!

Broadjam Artist: Sonic
Song: Harder To Hold

Reviewer: HellMuff

Positive Comments: The arrangement is well done, keeps me interested in the song for sure. The musicians are definitely tight, and I really like what the guitars are doing. The vocalist does a great job, and the pitch is great. Also, the drummer does a good job of holding it down without getting too flashy. Overall a nice job here!

Constructive Comments: My only slight criticism would be in terms of audio quality. I know not everyone has access to a high end multi million dollar studio, but to be fair, the audio could be a little better. Nothing personal at all, I have no idea how this was recorded and is certainly passable. I just think with the right environment and proper gear, you guys could really be onto something. Keep it up!

Broadjam Artist: Dallas Marshall
Song: Different Worlds

Reviewer: HellMuff

Positive Comments: The song itself is great, I really like how layered everything is. The vocals remind me a little of the singer from the band Live somewhat. They lyrics are well done for sure. The musicians are very talented, and play well together.

Constructive Comments: My only criticism here is that for whatever reason the audio didn’t sound as good as I was hoping. To be fair, I only listened to it on only one medium. All things considered, this has a lot of potential otherwise. Keep it up!

Song: Porcupine Alley / Heavy Metal

Reviewer: HellMuff

Positive Comments: Well, it’s definitely an interesting loop. Would have like to have heard more. It has an electronic vibe to it.

Constructive Comments: I would have liked to have heard more of an arrangement, vocals, hook etc… I get it though, not everyone is trying to make an album.

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Roberts
Song: I Will Be Redeemed

Reviewer: HellMuff

Positive Comments: i think the instrumentation is well done, the musicians do a good job playing their instruments. It’s definitely catchy!

Constructive Comments: With all due respect, I thought the song was a bit repetitive in terms of the chorus, but that’s just my two cents worth. Also, the overall audio quality isn’t bad, but could possibly be better. Definitely heard worse though.

Song: Auto Pilot (2017)

Reviewer: B&S

Positive Comments: A very interesting track, with nice sounds and good crescendo. I was not sure if to select “unique” or was better “electronic” genre, because overall sounds are from synths (or sampled synths). Anyway I like the chords progression and the way you arranged this track. Very good job!

Constructive Comments: Not much to say… in my opinion the sound of drum groove could be better…overall it’s a good track.

Broadjam Artist: artmuz
Song: Alone

Reviewer: B&S

Positive Comments: This track has two moods, first one is a little bit melancholic but when the guitars start play the mood change in a positive way. Well, I love the both and love the idea to have two or more moods in the same track. Very good job!

Constructive Comments: Nothing special to say, the sound is good, players are good… all work well!
