Neu Smell

Neu Smell is the debut 7" EP by British anarcho-punk band Flux of Pink Indians, released in 1981 on Crass Records. It is notable for the inclusion of the song "Tube Disaster".

"Tube Disaster" was originally recorded by some members' former band The Epileptics, with lyrics inspired by the 1975 Moorgate tube crash. Drummer Sid Truelove joined the band whilst also a member of Rubella Ballet and explained the origins of "Sick Butchers" and "Background of Malfunction" to The Quietus:

“We were asked to record the single for Crass only a week after I joined the band and we only had one good new song! [...] They had nothing to work with so I decided to donate two songs I had written for Rubella Ballet. Once this was discovered I got into hot water with Zillah [Minx, Rubella Ballet’s vocalist/ Truelove’s partner]. ‘What do you mean you gave them to Flux?!’ I was lost for words when I realised I had given Flux possibly the best two songs we had!”

The original release reached number 2 in the UK Independent Charts.

In 2024 Neu Smell was repressed as 12" single by One Little Indian as part of the "2 By 2 And Back Again" series.
