Carsick Cars

Carsick Cars are founding members of Beijing’s thriving underground music scene and remain one of the most recognised Chinese bands internationally.

Their sound draws from the drone and dissonance of Velvet Underground, Suicide and Sonic Youth while also echoing the textures and structures of Steve Reich and Glenn Branca. The result is a brilliantly layered roar built on hard, open chords that cut through the noise with surprising clarity.

Beneath the explosive feedback and distortion lies their undeniable gift for songcraft, this is something that has not been lost on the many musicians of Beijing who are their fans; Carsick Cars are likely the most frequently covered underground band by local groups in China.
