Nova Twins

Nova Twins are an English rock duo formed in London, England, in 2014, consisting of vocalist/guitarist Amy Love and bassist Georgia South. Their debut album, Who Are the Girls?, was released in February 2020. Their second album Supernova, was released in June 2022. Supernova was shortlisted for the 2022 Mercury Prize and led to the band receiving two nominations at the BRIT Awards in 2023. Their most recent album, Parasites & Butterflies, was released on August 29th 2025.

Love and South have been close friends since childhood and have played in bands that were often booked on the same bill. Both of them come from a mixed background; Love is of Iranian and Nigerian descent, and South is of Jamaican and Australian descent. (Georgia South's father, William South, is also a musician). They formed a band together on March 20, 2014 named BRAATS. Later that year they settled on the name Nova Twins, and released their first song "Bassline Bitch" under that name, in April 2015. That song attracted the attention of independent label Robotunes, which signed them and released their first self-titled EP in 2016.

After a show at French festival Rencontres Trans Musicales in December 2016, Nova Twins spent most of 2017 touring multiple countries and supported Prophets of Rage, after which Tom Morello named them "the best band you've never heard of". They have since supported Muse, Wolf Alice, Bring Me the Horizon, Little Simz, Yungblud, Dream Wife, Black Honey, Enter Shikari, Skunk Anansie, Muna, Foo Fighters, and Lenny Kravitz. In 2017 they self-released the singles "Thelma & Louise" and "Mood Swings", and started their own custom clothing line called Bad Stitches.

In 2018, Nova Twins self-released the singles "Hit Girl" and "Lose Your Head". They continued to tour with shows in Europe and America, including an appearance at the Afropunk festival in Brooklyn. Towards the end of that year they started recording their debut album with producer Jim Abbiss. In 2019, they toured with Prophets of Rage. The singles "Devil's Face" and "Vortex" from their upcoming album were released with accompanying music videos. They also collaborated with several brands, including Dr Martens on a global campaign, contributing both music and visuals. It was revealed later in the year that they would release their debut album Who Are the Girls? in collaboration with Fever 333's label 333 Wreckords Crew.

Their debut album Who Are the Girls? was released on February 28, 2020. Who Are the Girls? received positive reviews at Kerrang!, Clash, and elsewhere. The band won Best U.K. Breakthrough Band in the 2020 Heavy Music Awards.

Their second album Supernova was released on June 17, 2022 on Marshall Records and described by The Guardian as "a mindblowing blast of distorted noise-pop – and destroys the narrative about who gets to make rock music".Supernova was shortlisted for the 2022 Mercury Prize. Lead single "Antagonist" won Best Independent Track at the AIM Awards 2022. Nova Twins were named Band of the Year by Kerrang! Magazine in 2022 and nominated twice at The BRIT Awards 2023 in Group of the Year & Best Rock/Alternative Act categories.

In 2022 Nova Twins played shows across the UK, EU and US, including a sold-out headline show at Electric-Brixton. They covered Beyoncé’s "Break My Soul" as part of BBC Radio 1’s  Live Lounge Month. Later that year Nova Twins released their first official remix of Sam Smith’s "Unholy Feat. Kim Petras".

In 2023, Nova Twins were the main support for the indie-pop band Muna during their Life's So Fun tour across their North American dates. Ahead of their 2023 Glastonbury performance on the Other Stage, Elton John praised Nova Twins, naming them as one of his top 4 acts to watch, claiming “these girls rock my world... they are just for me phenomenal”. Nova Twins supported Muse during their arena tour for the UK and Ireland dates in September and October 2023. In 2024, the band featured on the Foo Fighters arena tour around the US. In March 2025, they also supported Lenny Kravitz in a few cities in Germany, Denmark and France. In the same period as the tour with Foo Fighters, they recorded a new album with producer Rich Costey. That album, Parasites & Butterflies, was released on 29 August 2025 on Marshall Records.
