KLOQ (pronounced "clock") is an electronic rock band that was formed in Chelmsford, Essex[1] in 2005 by Oz Morsley of Empirion.
The current lineup is Dean Goodwin (Vocals), Oz Morsley (Keys, Electronics), Tim Jackson (Bass), and Chris Jacobs (Drums).
Having a major hit with the 12" acid house anthem "Narcotic Influence" Oz and Empirion were Signed by XL Recordings and enjoyed relative commercial success.
Front man Dean Goodwin over the years has been in many indie rock bands including the 'Thieves of Time' where he released the single 'More To Give' and the EP 'Scream And Shout'[5] and also featured on some compilation albums.
Tim is currently endorsed by Warwick and has featured in many bands throughout the years most notably 'British Intelligence' who played on the BBC Introducing at the Reading and Leeds Festivals[6] in 2009.
Alex Baker is Skindred's current touring drum tech and has also done the rounds, playing in the band Seven Summers which included Matt Cardle.
[13] Oz added Tim Jackson on Bass guitar to give the band's music more of a live sound, along with the touring vocalist Greg Cumbers.
Early 2012 after the departure of touring vocalist Greg, the band implemented the permanent addition of front man Dean Goodwin.
'[26] New Noise Magazine gave the album 3.5/5 in their positive review of Begin Again, saying 'Imagine putting The Killers, Ke$ha, Eminem, and Blur into a blender and hitting the "on" button.
[28] Soundscape gave a review of the album which stated that 'one track that doesn't quite slot into the bigger picture and it's a shame because otherwise Begin Again would have been a flawless release.
The band toured the album in the UK with Inertia, who are fronted by Killing Joke keyboard player Reza Uhdin.
In January 2006, the track "Kloq Music 2" was included on Solstice Black Compilation #01 and in February 2007, "You Never Know" (which had guest vocals by Douglas McCarthy) appeared on Machineries of Joy Vol.
