The Cars: New Wave, Pop, and Pure Cool

Some bands define an era. Others create a sound so unique that decades later it still feels fresh.
The Cars accomplished both.
Emerging from Boston's vibrant music scene in 1976, The Cars became one of the most influential bands of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Their music combined the energy of rock, the precision of pop, the innovation of synthesizers, and the detached cool of new wave. The result was a sound unlike anything else on radio at the time.
With a remarkable string of hit songs, multi-platinum albums, and a lasting influence on generations of musicians, The Cars helped bridge the gap between classic rock and the modern music landscape that followed. More than forty years after their debut, songs like "Just What I Needed," "My Best Friend's Girl," "Drive," and "You Might Think" remain staples of radio, streaming playlists, and popular culture.
Their story is one of innovation, chemistry, ambition, and a sound that never went out of style.
