Over the last few years, Nova Twins have become one of the most celebrated and transformative forces in contemporary music. Since bursting out of the independent UK scene, the Mercury Music Prize and two-time BRIT Award nominees have rewritten the rulebook of what a modern rock band can achieve. Praised by icons like Tom Morello and Elton John they’ve dominated festivals from the UK’s Glastonbury to Japan’s Summer Sonic and shared stages with legends like Foo Fighters, Muse, and Bring Me The Horizon. In 2022 their Mercury Music Prize shortlisting inked Love and South’s names in the history books as the first black rock band to receive a nomination, a victory not just for the duo, but for music culture itself.
Renowned for their electrifying live performances, Nova Twins are equally celebrated for their singular sound. Every note is the product of real instrumentation - bass and guitar teased, pulled, pushed, and manipulated through tap-dancing across an expansive pedalboard. Paired with a rich, inventive vocal approach, their music achieves an unmistakable identity without a synthesizer in sight.
Now entering a bold new era, Nova Twins have unveiled details of their highly anticipated third album, 'Parasites & Butterflies'. Set for release on August 29th, South and Love are poised to push boundaries further, elevating their genre-defying sound to new and exhilarating heights.
