Set your phasers to FUNK! Smelloship just rolled out their second EP on May 23—a gumbo-thick groove cruise straight from the underbelly of the Intersmellactic Highway. This EP ain’t just music—it’s a night out in the galaxy’s greasiest dance hall. Laissez les bons temps warp.

Who is Smelloship?

Smelloship is a 6-piece instromonstrosity from Canada. Channeling 70s funk, soul, and southern rock, Smelloship rides a starfield where vintage tone and second-line swagger collide in greasy, greasy harmony.

Since releasing their debut EP in 2024, Smelloship’s subspace signals have been detected on radios around the globe — including CBC’s Saturday Night Jazz. They've opened for Parliament Funkadelic and collaborated live with Moon Hooch (NYC). Their new record Smelloship 2 is their finest material yet, and they can't wait for you to hear it May 23.


Here's what people have to say:
"Bringing a little more grit to Ottawa’s funk-jazz scene, Smelloship deliver the goods on their latest LP. With plenty of tones that play on greats like The Meters and Herbie Hancock, this record really finds its grooves fast and lets them jam." - Ottawa Life Magazine

"A funky soul-infused instrumental recording from Ottawa-based band Smelloship, a six-piece ensemble, and you can hear each one clearly but none overwhelms the other." - Apt613.ca
