In this episode of Behind The Mic, we checked in with Alex from Brass-House band, New Car Smell. New Car Smell describe themselves as 'three dudes making high-octane 200 horse-power Brass House'. In this episode we talk about self-expression, avoiding posers in the music scene, the stigma around busking and letting go of what other people think about you. We also discuss Alex's lived experience of insomnia, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder(OCD), therapy and the impact that negative and interruptive thoughts have had on his mental health.As always, #itsokaytoventListen to New Car Smell on streaming platforms below: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4H2D0mQLVLsHrK5D7o51Zl?si=mX-COSE-Q8qoAjLNGqqa5QYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2uPvt6BIxqfss-8HXVG_lgSoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/newcar_smellFollow New Car Smell on social media below: Twitter: https://twitter.com/NewCar_SmellInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/newcarsmell.brass/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/newcarsmell.brass/about/?ref=page_internalPatreon: www.patreon.com/venthelpukMusic: @patawawa - Strange: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d70wfeJSEvkOutro: New Car Smell - Titbag Magee: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7Fml_gCc4U
