INTERVIEW: Clockwise On Fire

From Philadelphia, the duo of Clockwise On Fire, Tim Arnold and Brian Lynch, has debuted their self titled album Clockwise on Fire, and sat down with our very own Jessey Alley to talk more on the album. Not only talking about some of the songs such as ‘Dig’, ‘Now We’re Retroceding’, or ‘What Will You Forget’, but also how the duo started, and really knew they were going to create this record.

The duo creates a combo with different genres a staple with their music, such as their song ‘Dig’ which has an upbeat alternative feel, but also takes in a psychedelic rock to create a combo that has a true sound of its own. Brian and Tim first began playing music together during middle school in the Philly suburbs, experimenting, improvising, and exploring sounds at a formative age together. After high school, life carried the musicians down separate roads. Tim co-founded Good Old War, releasing four full-length albums and four EPs in addition to touring nationally, while Brian stayed local performing in various bands. In 2017, the two reconnected and launched a Primus cover band, Los Bastardos, and by 2019 had started collaborating on original music. Even in the face of the pandemic, Tim and Brian were locked into an unbreakable groove, resulting in Clockwise On Fire.


“We have put a lot of love and devotion into this record and couldn’t be more excited to share it with the world! We hope you enjoy listening to the album as much as we enjoyed making it!” -Clockwise On Fire about their album


Clockwise On Fire is the musical union of longtime friends and collaborators Tim Arnold [Good Old War, Anthony Green] and Brian Lynch. The duo, who blur the lines between eloquent songcraft and instrumental fluidity, channel a spirit of unbridled freedom on their debut album, which was mixed by Jason Cupp [Maps and Atlases, American Football, Milk Carton Kids, Good Old War] and sees Tim contributing drums, percussion, synths, and keyboards, while Brian holds down guitar, bass, synths and keyboards, with both sharing lyrical and vocal duties.
