“Practicing the art of reinvention Clockwise, sweet shades of 80s New Wave tones and Clockwise’s penchant for expressing, exploring and exorcising the human darkness” – High Voltage Magazine
He will embark on a campaign trail throughout the world with his unique blend of Heartland/electronic/Celtic-post punk, 80s, and New Wave music, Clockwise has not only found his voice, but he has also found his sound. The album is a deep dive into Andy’s signature songwriting and existential poetry new wave, classic Bowie-style pop, and the heart-wrenching poetry of Leonard Cohen & Nick Cave , Talking Heads, Malcolm McLaren, ESG, and LCD Soundsystem and even Bob Dylan.. Although touching on classic references Andy Clockwise is unabashedly original, with a sound and vision years in the making and a message all his own. This is an artist at that moment in his career that people talk about in the annals of Rock & Roll & Indie folklore. Somehow Clockwise again manages to be innovative whilst at the same time rooting himself in emotional nostalgia, and that’s just the sound of the music.

Andy has earned a cult-like status for his charismatic and verbose live shows, and has a touring history with the Warpaint, Numerous festivals & Julian Casablancas (The Strokes) + Many More.
He writes, records, performs all instruments, engineers, produces everything on his music as well as all upcoming releases in a basement in Beachwood Canyon, CA & Sydney, Australia, Boulevard Recording (Pink Floyd/Fleetwood Mac) in LA, as well as during stints in London , it features work by Omar Yakar (War On Drugs), Drew Erickson (Tim Heidecker, Roger Waters), JT Thomas (Captain Beefheart), Stella Mozgawa (Warpaint, Kurt Vile), and Jade Macrae.
