Driven By Clockwork

Driven By Clockwork are back with fresh energy and a massive sound update. Opening a new chapter, the band returns to a classic rock lineup after an extended period without acoustic drums: Alongside Tim Seidler and Michael Koch, the lineup is now completed by Marvin Dreiwes on drums and Timur Nilitas—both known for their work in the band Finte. With this return to an organic, punchy band sound, the quartet seamlessly builds on the musical density of their acclaimed LP I Into Infinity . Marvin Dreiwes not only provides the driving rhythmic backbone on real drums, but has also made crucial contributions over the past few years to the songwriting of their upcoming studio album, set for release in September 2026. Musically, Driven By Clockwork are now bringing their deep roots in shoegaze, post-punk, and post-rock to the stage with a much more powerful and physical presence. In their new songs, the band places the utmost value on versatility and dynamics—ranging from driving rhythms to expansive, atmospheric soundscapes. Driven By Clockwork sound more mature, multi-layered, and impactful than ever before.
