FireBug’s “Time Marches On” Is a Dream in Motion

In the high desert winds of Joshua Tree, where the sand whispers stories and the stars blink just a little brighter, FireBug returns with a song that feels more like a spell than a single. “Time Marches On” moves through you, like a slow procession of memories you thought you’d forgotten.

They’ve shared stages with titans like Iggy Pop, Iron Maiden, and The Cult. Their music feels deeply personal, like it was written just for the moment you’re in right now. Following their stirring anthem “Red, White and Blue” and a recent sync on Apple TV+’s Smoke, “Time Marches On” is another chapter in FireBug’s ongoing mythology.

Frontwoman Juliette Tworsey sings like someone who’s seen too many lives to be rattled by time. Her voice doesn’t ask for your attention. It claims it, soaring and aching all at once, hovering over Jules Shapiro’s guitar like smoke curling into dusk. The production, courtesy of Jordan Lawlor, is layered and cinematic, a perfect echo chamber for FireBug’s otherworldly vision.

If the world ever needed a psychedelic love letter to the inevitability of time, this would be it. The track blends rock, electronica, soul, and something else you can’t quite name—something ancient, maybe. It could easily be the soundtrack of the Austin Powers films, lending its surreal charm to one of the scenes.

The music video, rich in retro textures and hallucinatory visuals, feels like stepping into a dream. It’s bold, strange, and hypnotic—everything FireBug does best.

You can catch them under the desert sky at Pappy & Harriet’s in Pioneertown on July 17.
