Reviewer: Sixty Miles Down

Positive Comments: Not a bad cover. I always liked this song. this version is a little more laid back than the original but cool in it’s own way. I really like the sound of the guitars in this one. The singer has a nice rich voice that works well for this song. Good job!

Constructive Comments: Nice job on this song. unfortunately I don’t have anything constructive to say. I think you did a very nice job on this. Best of luck to you.

Song: Do Me Wrong

Reviewer: Sixty Miles Down

Positive Comments: The singer has a solid voice. Very melodic and clean. The vocal melody and lyrics are catchy. The horns and backround singers really fill things out nicely. The piano and organ blend well and are tastefully played. Overall a really cool song. Great job!

Constructive Comments: The mix sounds a little thin to me. That’s about it. Maybe drop the highs a little or add a touch of low end. Everything else is great. Best of luck !

Reviewer: Sixty Miles Down

Positive Comments: 10 seconds into this song and I love it already. What a great feel this song has. Love the drum loop. everything is so tastefully done. This song stays interesting from start to finish.

Constructive Comments: The only thing I would do is maybe add a little reverb to the drums and a little eq on the highs for the overall mix. other than that I think the song is great the way it is.

Positive Comments: Great heavy tune. Very catchy. Lots of attitude. I would love to hear this song live. Leads are well done. Love the tom work on the drums. I don’t know what else to say. I’m just sitting here bobbing my head to this song. I really like it. Very cool ending! Great job!

Constructive Comments: The mix can use a little work. Some eq on the lower mids to add clarity would help I think. The overall sound is a little boxy to my ears but the song is friggin awesome!!

Broadjam Artist: Sonic
Song: Harder To Hold

Reviewer: Sixty Miles Down

Positive Comments: great energy right off the bat. Great intro. Love the little guitar solo in the intro. The singer has a really solid voice. The melody is catchy. LOVE the chorus. That’s how a chorus should sound. HUGE. I’m really digging this singer. He has such a nice sound and good range. Nice solo in the middle. The breakdown after the solo is a really nice change. This is a well crafted song. I f**king love it. The ending is perfect too.

Constructive Comments: The mix needs some work. It sounds a little muddy. A little bottom heavy maybe. The absolute awesomeness of the song makes me not really care about that though. Damn I love this song.

Broadjam Artist: Rich Goldin
Song: Enduring Snow

Reviewer: Sixty Miles Down

Positive Comments: I like this one. I like the percussive elements in this song especially the intro. Really cool vibe and guitar work. I just noticed the organ. Very nice. It fits perfect in the mix. Not bad at all.

Constructive Comments: The mix sounds a little muddy. Almost like an old cassette recording. I think an actual ending instead of a fade out would be better for this song. Good job all in all.

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: Man Candy Blonde / Hard Rock

Reviewer: Sixty Miles Down

Positive Comments: Not bad. I like the rough feel of the song. The guitar is meaty but not too aggressive sounding. The playing is very tasteful and melodic. I like the progression. The song flows pretty well.

Constructive Comments: The drums are too low in the mix. They sound like they might have a little too much reverb on them in my opinion. I would bring the reverb down a little and bring the overall drum volume up. Are the drums mono? The sound very narrow to me. Pan them out. Open them up a little to add some space to the song. All in all not a bad tune. Best of luck to you!

Broadjam Artist: StarburstRecords
Song: Pure Evil

Reviewer: Sixty Miles Down

Positive Comments: I like the dynamics of the song. Great instrumentation. This singer has a really good voice. The overall vibe of this song is really cool. I like how the verses are open sounding and laid back and then the chorus is heavy and much fuller. Great contrast. There’s lots of elements in this song that keep it interesting and draw the listener in.

Constructive Comments: I would work on the mix a bit. The chorus is lacking punch. The chorus is very strong musically but I feel like it needs some oomph. Not sure if its an eq thing with the mix or if it can use some more pads or guitars. I love the song though. Good luck!

Song: B4 The Storm

Reviewer: Sixty Miles Down

Positive Comments: I really like this one. The playing is top notch. lots of really effin cool guitar parts. The drummer is playing a lot of interesting beats. This song stays interisting from start to finish. Super melodic, lots of harmonies. Great playing. Bass is super tight as well. Great job!!

Constructive Comments: I really don’t have anything constructive for this one. I love it as is. Really great job on this one!

Broadjam Artist: Rich Goldin
Song: Thunder Head

Reviewer: Sixty Miles Down

Positive Comments: Pretty cool tune. I really like the groove of this song. It’s a real toe tapper. The guitar playing is excellent and the drummer has a nice feel for the song. He/she doesn’t over play and all the fills are tasteful and compliment the song nicely. The rain effect is a noce touch. Nice job!

Constructive Comments: I think the mix can be better. It’s a little hissy and thin sounding. The mix needs some bottom end.
