Make the Clocks Move is Kevin Devine's second studio album. It was released in 2003, being the first of two albums released on Triple Crown Records. The German record label, Defiance Records, released a double LP set with both Make The Clocks Move and Kevin's following album, Split The Country, Split The Street.

After being out of print for a period of time, Kevin announced the album would be re-issued by Triple Crown Records on October 12, 2010. The re-issue features new artwork, extensive liner notes by Devine and an introductory note by Brand New vocalist Jesse Lacey.[3][4] The re-issue features two previously unreleased demo tracks from the album's sessions, "Funerals and Carnivals" and "You Knock Me Out". A vinyl release is planned for the re-issue.[5]

It is the first of his albums produced by Chris Bracco and Mike Skinner, who would later produce a number of Kevin's recordings, including the albums Split The Country, Split The Street and Brother's Blood. Bracco and Skinner are also members of his band (playing bass and drums, respectively), "The Goddamn Band". Mike Skinner was the previously the drummer of band Miracle of 86, in which Kevin was the lead singer/guitarist.
