\"Powerklash\"<\/p>\n

Broadjam Artist: <\/b>Powerklash<\/a>
Song: <\/b>You’re Not Dreaming<\/a><\/p>\n

Reviewer: <\/b>Jeff Roberts<\/a><\/p>\n

Positive Comments: <\/b>Some very good guitar tones here, with a warm, saturated sound that avoids the over-distortion trap. The intro has riffing that evokes the best of late 70’s \/ early 80’s. The vocal comes in differently in a more early 90’s feel like Breaking Benjamin \/ Tool \/ Jimmy Eat World. The vocals are more thoughtful and gentle than a Whitesnake or Motley Crue would have been. The performance is really tight with a solid groove and drum track. The overall balance is really good in the mix and production decisions. The bridge is a great move with a subtle touch and a refreshing change to dropout and more reflective guitar parts. Lesser songs have been all over the radio. Nice work!<\/p>\n

Constructive Comments: <\/b>Just me but I HATE pick choke harmonics, IMO they’re so old and overdone. But again my taste. “my heart is beating for you \/ I’ll be a shining light” nothing terribly wrong with that but it’s a bit cliche and doesn’t really compel. You might want to duck the instruments a bit more to let the vocal sit on top more. The biggest thing is this is totally good but isn’t offering anything new that grabs. But we all struggle with that, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
