Following its dissolution in 1995, he formed Joan of Arc the same year and served as its lead singer, primary songwriter, and only continuous member until their breakup in 2020. In 2001, Kinsella participated in Owls which included all members of Cap'n Jazz except for guitarist Davey von Bohlen. From 2003 to 2008, Kinsella also founded and toured with Make Believe which included his cousin Nate and former Cap'n Jazz member Sam Zurick alongside bassist Bobby Burg. He has also released early solo material under the alias Tim Kinsella(s) in addition to participating Friend/Enemy and Everyoned.

His first novel, entitled The Karaoke Singer's Guide to Self-Defense, was published by Featherproof Books in September 2011.
