There’s something electric about the London-based brass trio New Car Smell. They’re not your typical brass band — in fact, they describe themselves as “a punk trio disguised as a brass band”.
With just three members (Alex, Jack and Theo) they fuse brass instrumentation with high-energy rhythms drawn from drum & bass, hip-hop, dancehall and funk.
New Car Smell aren’t just playing brass instruments—they’re rewriting the rulebook for how brass can sound. Whether you’re a brass aficionado or a club-night regular, their energy is contagious. If you get a chance to see them live, go.
