Nova Twins

It's funny, you know? If you google today’s guests, they’re described as a “rock duo” but in all honesty, that feels like such a massive understatement. Nova Twins are two best friends, Georgia South and Amy Love, who’ve just had a life-changing year. Based in London, Nova Twins have taken elements of punk, grime, punk, hard rock, and even dance, to craft a sound that’s distinctly them; a sound that’s caused them to be impossible to place within a box.

However, what allured me to them wasn’t only the music, but also how they’ve been able to build a world around it. Their social media, videos, and photography all reflect a group that wants to leave an impact; a group that aims to leave a lasting impression beyond their fast-paced songs. This dedication to their craft has led them to win an AIM Award for Best Independent track (for their tune Antagonist), a MOBO Award in the Best New Alternative category, and a nomination for the 2022 edition of the Mercury Prize.

This episode of the podcast is a bit of an introductory piece, where it’s all about exploring how the band got started, what lead them to where they are today, and traversing the experiences that’ve built their ethos and principles. We also share a lot of laughs along the way, I can honestly say it was such a joy chatting with both Georgia and Amy. Nova Twins will be touring across the UK and Ireland this February, starting on February 8th at The Lexington in London. Visit their website for ticket info and tour dates. 

After you hear the episode, be sure to check out Nova Twin’s track Choose Your Fighter on the official New Exchange Playlist. Also, be sure to follow Nova Twins on Spotify, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
