The Beat Surrender

My brief research may have gone a little off course here, but I’m pretty sure Loz Jones have been responsible for the Aylesbury United football club song Bring The Ducks Home, which if that is the case might not be the coolest thing in the world, but I kinda respect from a footballing perspective.

One thing I can say for definite is that this five piece are definitely responsible for Spoiling It For Everyone, a guitar and synth based pop album that while certainly being light and easy on the ear and aimed squarely to the mainstream, does have some really good moments.

I loved 3 Minute Hug, that would make a brilliant single, Edge Of Town is a slightly darker opening track and Beautifully Name is about putting the world to rights in the pub which is something most blokes can associate with.

Some tracks do go off the boil and come over a little weaker, but it’s hard to be too critical of a fun and well produced album that finishes with a real twist in the tail as we get a female vocal leading the epic closer Times.
