HOW U.K. SENSATIONS NOVA TWINS CREATED THEIR HEAVY AND UNIQUE SOUND AND WHY THEIR PEDALBOARDS REMAIN A CLOSELY GUARDED SECRET
JENNA SCARAMANGA
SUPERNOVAS

NOVA TWINS ARE the most exciting young band in the U.K. Combining rap, punk, R&B, and metal, they also have the filthiest synth sounds a stringed instrument has ever produced. They're the first band since Muse to have tones on their album that we genuinely don't know how to make. They're influenced by music many guitar bands don't even consider. And most importantly, their current album, Supernova, is stuffed with great songs.

The Twins, guitarist/vocalist Amy Love and bassist Georgia South, have been a band since 2014 and are finally catching a buzz, thanks to the support of Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello. Georgia says Rage's support has been invaluable. "With them being a diverse band, they can kind of understand some of our experiences being women of color. The success they've had was really encouraging because there's so many times we'd hit a wall with people not getting it. Seeing a band like Rage Against the Machine, one of the biggest bands in the world, being fully diverse - it's inspiring."

In 2019 Nova Twins supported Prophets of Rage, Morello's rap-metal supergroup with members of Cypress Hill and Public Enemy, and were booked to open RATM's sadly canceled 2022 U.K. dates. "People wouldn't know about us if we didn't have big bands helping us," Georgia says, "because the industry at first weren't getting it. It was two girls playing heavy music looking the way we do, and it was a bit like, 'We don't know where to put you.'"
