Broadjam Artist: Mark Tha Shark
Song: MINDWORKS OF M.T.S
Reviewer: Bob Birthisel
Positive Comments: Man – the opening 20 seconds are really strong. I couldn’t wait to hear more and the playing is very solid. Particularly the drumming which was super-steady and clean despite the Lo-Fi mix.
Constructive Comments: Some home recordings can be pretty clean – this one is filthy and it destroys any semblance of commercial potential. When a song exceeds 4 minutes, and then 5 minutes, it needs timing or progression changes to keep it interesting. Just a jam won’t get the attention of any music supervisor or A&R person. If you can’t re-record this, maybe move it to a Lo-Fi category where people aren’t expecting a pristine sound. My gut is it’s too Lo-Fi even for that, but better than leaving it in Hard Rock.
