Broadjam Artist: Peter G Olach – PGO
Song: (cover contest entry) a cowboy’s lament

Reviewer: Ladee V

Positive Comments: Different type of art here.

Constructive Comments: Nothing here. As different as this is its still art and personal to the artist.

Broadjam Artist: StarburstRecords
Song: E1. Unholy Kiss (Protilius/Johnson/Starburst)

Reviewer: The First Rule

Positive Comments: Vocalist has a great voice. Fits the genre perfectly. Like the electronic strings/elements included as well.The song definitely has potential. Very reminiscent of Evanescence.

Constructive Comments: The end of the chorus bothered me, vocally. The singer has a great voice, but by electronically breaking up that last “unholy kiss”, it kind of killed the hook.As far as instrumentation, I would love to hear a full band incorporated into the sound. I was left waiting for something heavier to drop, and it never did. As much as I liked the electronic strings, it felt like it needed more.

Song: Doing It

Reviewer: The First Rule

Positive Comments: Vocalist has a good grungy/punk tone. The crunch of the guitar and tone of the singer go well together and definitely creates a “style”. Reminiscent of the grunge/garage bands of the mid 1990’s.

Constructive Comments: The lyrics are pretty basic. The song could have potential if there was a little more put into them rather than just straight forward “doin it” and then listing places the person gets caught doin it. Would also add a lot to have a full band, rather than what appears to be one person singing and playing guitars.

Broadjam Artist: Signal 30
Song: Bad B Movie

Reviewer: The First Rule

Positive Comments: Love the lyrical content of the song! Love the analogy of film used to get the point across. Vocalist has a perfect sound for this genre. Would love to hear more, and could see this band putting on an awesome live show! First comparison off the top of my head would be the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Constructive Comments: Instrumentation would sound a lot better with a live band. Sounds like it was all (or mostly) electronic.

Broadjam Artist: StarburstRecords
Song: Dancing With Dragons – ft Bobby Sahlen

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: Another really cool song Jay!! Very different style. Feels like something from a musical….very theatrical/broadway feel! I personally love this style. Huge fan of Jimmy Webb, Jim Steinman, etc. Everything is done right to bring the song to life!

Constructive Comments: Another great song my friend!! Take care. Greg

Broadjam Artist: John Hazlett
Song: Wounds Of War

Reviewer: Lloyd E. Perry

Positive Comments: That was so original, at least it was for me. On the surface it sounds so simple, but I’m sure those chords were very hard to put together. I’m sure it was very tempting half way through to break off into a more commercial clamor of what’s been done before. Thanks for keeping in character.

Constructive Comments: Wouldn’t change a thing.

Broadjam Artist: Jeana Potthoff
Song: I Will Love You Forever (with strings)

Reviewer: Margie & Art Corey

Positive Comments: This composition sounds quite wonderful as it stands, I really don’t have any suggestions for this incredible piece of music! I hear this tune in a film in an intimate or tender scene…just well conceived and an excellent job of musicianship! Help me out here, I just need one more Star to complete my review………..That did it!!

Constructive Comments: No, this is a terrific song!!! Wish I could play piano like this Artist!!! Great Job…… I have a feeling I know who is playing this tune??

Broadjam Artist: Peter G Olach – PGO
Song: (collab) Don’t Say It PGOlach/Dinwiddie

Reviewer: Douglas Branson aka dB+1

Positive Comments: The build in the beginning is excellent – this has a lot of interesting textures in the field – very current sounding – The dynamics are really powerful, as is the arrangement. Radio ready, film ready, live performance ready, and smoking hot.

Constructive Comments: No negatives – a finished and current sounding tune – nicely done.
