When you’ve never seen yourself in music, there’s an opportunity to build something from nothing. To make music that doesn’t sound directly like anyone else. “We had to work out our identities within music because we never had a reflection,” says Georgia South, Nova Twins bassist. “This is a 21st-century take on rock. It’s so many things.” Singer and guitarist Amy Love adds with a smile, “It’s the NOVA sound.”
The strong and unique bass guitar of Georgia South and the incisive vocals of Amy Love, are the driving force of Nova Twins New single, ‘Devil’s Face’, showcasing their unique future-punk-rock sound. The duo refuse to conform to any template, fusing bass-heavy grimey punk and taking inspiration from all corners of audio, from bands like N.E.R.D., Betty Davis, Jack White but also Missy Elliott, Princess Nokia, and Rihanna, capturing fans of all demographics with their riotous energy. The best friends have turned rock on its head, injecting their songs with boundless energy, barely controlled rage and heavy riffs. The pair, always dressed head-to-toe in designs they’ve made themselves, are uniquely genre-bending.
This year has seen Nova Twins awarded The International Showcase Fund in Jan 2019 generating European gigs and Festivals Summer 2019 and thePRS Momentum Music fund (which has helped artists such as Little Simz, Boston Manor, Years & Years and many more), as well as being featured as a Flying Vinyl Spotlight Artist, and scoring features in both NME and The Guardian.
Nova Twins use their platform to champion inclusivity and diversity with their high-octane, genre-warping approach. Effortlessly cool in not only their musical output, but in every element of what they do creatively as artists. From designing and making their own outfits for all videos, photo shoots and stage wear to the art direction on their videos. Nova Twins are above all, strong, independent and inspiring women. Their modus operandi is to take socio-political experiences from their day-to-day and turn it into something their fans can lose themselves in.
Nova Twins took their sound international last year embarking on a French headline tour, as well as supporting Wolf Alice across Europe, (including a sold-out Brixton Academy UK show), Ho99o9, Little Simz and Black Honeyon their run of UK dates. As well as busy festival season stops in France, Switzerland, Czech Republic and 2000trees to name but a few. This year is shaping up to be no different with festival appearances at Hellfest, Download Festival & Boomtown. They also supported Tom Morello in Nottingham (3rd June), and will head out with Prophets of Rage on tour this August across Europe including a show at London’s Shepherds Bush Empire (12th August).
Nova Twins are currently working with legendary producer Jim Abbiss (Adele, Kasabian, Arctic Monkeys), putting the finishing touches on their forthcoming album… more news on that soon…
