‘How, how on earth can that just be an unknown track on MySpace rather than something that's all over the playlists of the country? It's classic, laconic English pop songwriting from Loz Jones’ - TOM ROBINSON reviews 'Idiot Room' on BBC 6 Music
--------------------
‘This is a superb mix of Alt. Rock with chart friendly melodies and some great vocals. These guys are very tight and their tunes are remarkably infectious' - Matt Merritt - Subba-Cultcha
--------------------
‘Very tasty stuff, very impressive and pretty damn cool ....No-way does 'Spoiling It For Everyone' sound like a debut work; it's solid, modernistic and extremely professional .…this outfit sound really together, supremely tight and totally focussed on their main event - making good music that's not just following others ....'Spoiling It For Everyone' by Loz Jones is scarily good for a debut album and that title might just prove to be 'right on the money - watch out for this lot, they might just be coming into your home very soon!!' - ToxicPete.co.uk
--------------------
'LOZ JONES' debut is a delightful slice of laid-back indie-pop. Loaded with crisp melodies and radio-friendly hooks, Spoiling It For Everyone is aimed squarely at the Robbie Williams crowd. A well realised piece of work that echoes Williams's debut, it's a fine start from the Buckinghamshire sextet.' - Rock'n'Reel magazine
--------------------
'While other bands struggle for niche and genre, obsessing over whether a riff might 'sound a bit too flowery' or be 'lacking a raw edge', Loz and his talented ensemble prefer to dive straight into the lyrics and melody, crafting engaging and in some ways unique tunes that have won admirers across the South-East and beyond. Songwriting craft and the rhythm that underlies it, is a talent not seen nearly enough in popular music terms, but around the local live circuit and within the grooves of the band's debut album 'Spoiling It For Everyone' it's prevalent, it's alive, and it's humming!' - James Evans - Luton At Large
--------------------
‘Recording with Loz Jones was a very enjoyable experience. They're a great band who are very committed to what they do, and this clearly shows in the focused and exciting album they've made. The first week of recording was the best part for me - working on arrangements with everybody and seeing how we could shape the songs. I'm very happy with the end result, a clash of big guitars and electro pop synths battling it out over great drum and bass grooves. - Jamie Masters - Producer

'Loz Jones, Luton's Finest - An instantly likeable bunch ...a top drawer act you really ought to see ...expect catchy tunes and musicianship sharp enough to pick your teeth with ….I snaffled a preview copy of 'Spoiling It For Everyone' after the gig. It’s in my car. It’s jolly’ good' - Neil Skinner, Watford Observer / Ealing Times
--------------------
'Loz Jones, a band that are already stars in their own right, or at least well on their way... Wide eyed and fresh faced from the release of their 11 track album, Loz Jones set their sights on the coveted Surface champion title. The dynamic of the band rests with the lead singer whose voice captures even the hardest of hearing. The two keys players add the pop to their rock/pop stylings, giving their sound a more electronic/edgy feel. A friendly feeling sound that can have you tapping your feet and smiling before the first song is over.' - Surface Unsigned
Hello, I've been writing songs and musical bits and bobs since my early teens, played in various bands of various genres with varying degrees of success. In the summer of 2005 I started writing songs in my spare time for what originally started as my first solo project. After receiving encouraging feedback to some demos, I recorded an EP and with some friends, formed a band to play the new material live. We've played all kinds of gigs, large and small, standard stuff to the downright weird and supported some well known people along the way. Two years down the line and the six of us have become 'Loz Jones' the band. Most people seemed to think it was a band name anyway! In March/April 2008 we recorded our debut album 'Spoiling It For Everyone', our first recording as a band. We're very proud of it but feel there's so much more to come. What seems to make us tick is the kind of spirit, energy and honesty with each other that only happens in your first band, you know, when you were still at school and the world was your oyster. This might be because we were all friends before getting together for this. Whatever the reason, we think we've got something a bit special.
Hi guys and gals, the write-up for Wednesday's show is now online at www.phoenixfm.com/story/2893.php. Thanks again for coming in, and for your rather top set last night, hopefully catch up with you again soon!
Haha finally got to see the video just now - excellent stuff, like you said it does go really well with the song!
Should have the write-up for the show done within the next couple of days. I'm helping out at a Phoenix FM event in Brentwood so I don't know what time I'll be at the BE but hopefully I'll get to catch up with you after your set!
Hi Loz and co, thanks for sending me your CD - I'll be playing a track from it on tonight's show, so listen out for yourselves if you can! 10pm on 98FM / www. phoenixfm. com.

Hey, enjoyed your stuff last night. Is that the first time you've had to pause between songs to wait for an 80 year old man to find a deck of cards? I hope it is. take it easy Jon
