New Car Smell is wildly spirited London based trio made up of Alex Shaw (Sax), Jack Marks (Tuba) and Alex Shad (Drums). Their newest EP, Nerdz After All is available now. Nerdz After All is a more produced answer to their previous release, Keep Them On The Streets, and ode to busking and live performance. Both EPs retain a high level of psychotic energy in their own respects. Alex, Jack and Alex share their views on the struggle of playing live shows in London, how busking has informed the band’s modus operandi and why playing on the streets can be a better way to connect with fans and earn money. The band explains the role that “fun” played in making the new record, why they decided to go with a more produced sound and how Nerdz After All is attached to a multi-EP concept. Joe and the boys delve into the growing impotence of social media, why fans are better than followers and why leaving out fussiness and respecting the craft is the key to success as performers.
