“In a refreshing way [The Clock Reads] has brought Pittsburgh to the jam world, rather than the jam world coming to Pittsburgh. Over the past two years, the band members have dedicated and progressed their talents in the Steel City and are now catching the eyes and ears of jam lovers across the country.” – The Grateful Web

Listed as one of Pittsburgh's “best up-and-coming bands of 2016" by CBS Pittsburgh.

“At the Musical Madness Stage, The Clock Reads carried us into the evening with their jazz-influenced jams, drawing in a solid crowd as the sun went down – a perfect segue into Saturday night’s headliner.” – Some Kind of Jam Review (The Jamwich)

“In the live setting, you will be won over by the rhythm section’s relentless groove led by Steve Ippolito (Drums) and Michael Berger (Bass). Pair those two with the talented Jason Greenlaw (Guitar) and John O’Brien (Guitar), and you get one of the hardest working, up-and-coming bands in the state. They bring a fresh and energetic sound to each show, hinting at numerous genres while staying true to the jazzy funk that fans have grown to love.”

The Clock crafts their sound from the music that is constantly surrounding their lives. Their arsenal of original tunes is as varied as their musical tastes. The backbone of their sound is formed by tight communication, often allowing the band to transcend the “known” and “recognizable” into uncharted territory. This energy creates an exciting environment for both the band and the audience.

The Clock Reads has quickly made a name for themselves in the local music scene, playing major venues throughout Pittsburgh and continuing to make their rounds in the region’s festival circuit.
