Born out of a desire to challenge convention, NEW CAR SMELL is for those who dare to dothings differently. By taking their instruments beyond their traditional boundaries; NEW CAR SMELL prove that what you have doesn’t define what you are. Tuba isn’t just classical, a sax isn’t confined to jazz,and DnB beats don’t have to be programmed. With music that redefines expectations, they blend the unexpected into a sound that’s fresh, organic, and alive. From underground and alternative venues in London and Bristol (Hootananny, The Jago, MrWolf's, Rich Mix) to major festivals like Boardmasters, Boomtown, and Camp Bestival; NEWCAR SMELL’s performances bring dance and groove music into a free-flowing, (literally) breathing space. Once described as "a punk trio disguised as a brass band," NEW CAR SMELL embody the spirit of risk and reinvention. They stand for change, for dismantling the status quo, and rejecting the essentialist narratives that we’re fed daily. Consider yourself conscripted into achange worth making.
