RECENT RELEASES
"Splitting the difference between the massive sonics of 80s electro-ballads and the expansive storytelling of rock and roll, Andy Clockwise’s latest “War Stories” is an ambitious attempt to tackle the sheer breadth of life in a seven-minute epic—and boy, does he nail it. The track is an LCD Soundsystem meets Springsteen—a match made in heaven we know—collision of sound and style, aided by the thrilling energy of Clockwise’s anthemic crooning and riveting electronica." - Grimy Goods
"Calling out debauchery, artifice and other sundry aspects of L.A. life. For his new music, Clockwise finds touchstones in 1980s post-punk and New Wave — think New Order, as narrated by weighty baritone of an arena rocker.” - BUZZBANDS.LA
"Between thunderous percussion gallops and synth-bursts Andy Clockwise details a tale on love, life, and grief that is as timeless as it is so particular affecting in the modern era." - Grimy Goods
