Just ahead of their Warped Tour debut this weekend, Nova Twins are sharing the newest track from their forthcoming record, Parasites & Butterflies, out Aug 29th on Marshall Records. “N.O.V.A” is yet another blazing power track from the UK duo. “This is a celebration of identity, a tribute to the women in our family, and a refusal to apologise for who we are,” shares the band’s Amy Love & Georgia South. “As two Black women in rock music, we initially felt we had to prove ourselves, due to a lack of representation. Sticking to our guns and overcoming self-doubt has brought us pride. This song honours the peers who paved the way and the progress we’ve made.”
Directed by the incredible Charlie Rees, the chaotic video sees Amy and Georgia commanding a packed, all-femme moshpit with raw, unapologetic power. Embracing both their femininity and alt-rock roots, Nova Twins tear through the track with an in-your-face performance that’s fierce and cathartic.
The band recently performed a striking set at Glastonbury, a preview of what to expect at their show at Zebulon in Los Angeles tonight and their Warped Tour set in Long Beach, CA, this Saturday! They also released a cover of Doechii’s viral track “Anxiety” as part of the renowned Spotify Singles Series, alongside a live version of their track “Piranha”. Known for their genre-bending sound, Nova Twins craft something totally new from familiar foundations.
Parasites & Butterflies was recorded in Vermont, USA, with legendary producer Rich Costey (Foo Fighters, Muse, Deftones, Sam Fender). From front to back, it’s a genre-shattering statement of intent, balancing dancefloor detonators with moments of raw introspection. Full of contrast and scale, it reveals Nova Twins at their most expansive.
Nova Twins have also announced a UK & EU headline tour for September through October 2025, which will follow a packed summer of 19 festival appearances and support slots with Lenny Kravitz and Biffy Clyro. Their UK & EU tour kicks off in the Netherlands on September 17th and concludes in London at the O2 Forum Kentish Town on October 18th, their biggest hometown headline show to date.

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. They’ve dominated iconic festivals from Glastonbury to Summer Sonic, shared stages with legends like Foo Fighters, Muse, and Bring Me The Horizon, and drawn praise from global icons like Rage Against The Machine’s Tom Morello, who calls them “an incredible band,” and Elton John, who describes them as “phenomenal.”
The duo’s acclaim spans both their music and their cultural impact. They’ve graced the covers of Kerrang!, NME, UPSET, Alternative Press, and Rock Sound, and won prestigious awards at the Music Week Women in Music Awards, AIM Awards, Kerrang! Awards, and the Nordoff & Robbins O2 Silver Clef Awards. In 2022, their Mercury Music Prize nomination marked a historic milestone as the first Black rock band to be shortlisted.
Beyond music, Nova Twins’ Voices For The Unheard initiative amplifies underrepresented artists in the alternative sphere while supporting vital causes like The Black Curriculum. They also spearheaded the introduction of the Alternative category at the MOBO Awards in 2022 and established a Creative Musicianship Scholarship at ICMP to champion future generations of diverse talent.
With Parasites & Butterflies, Nova Twins continue their meteoric rise, inviting fans to embark on a bold new chapter.
