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 in 2014 named BRAATS, releasing the song "Bad Bitches" under that name. 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 Wolf Alice, Little Simz, Dream Wife, Black Honey, and Skunk Anansie. 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 Fever 333 and again 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 had been signed to 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!, Crash, 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. Supernova was shortlisted for the 2022 Mercury Prize.

How isn’t this band more famous? It looks and sounds so professional, and overall really enjoyable. Awesome mix of genres.

@yungblud is awesome sex drugs and pop replaced rock. Cause sex and drug songs are older than dirt
yungblud is awesome
Ik but sadly today's generation only likes pop song about sex drugs and all that
Polar Bear
They are getting much attention this June of 2022 on social media. Though they have been around a long time some artist take longer for whatever reason to hit main stream. Believe it or not Machine Gun Kelly, Kourtney Kardashian dating Travis Barker and a few other influential famous people (even if some of us do not care for them) they somehow influence young minds turning these fresh ears of the youth toward pop rock/ metal and rock n roll so it's a wave of timing. But regular pop and rap are still in the music genre lead at this time. Maybe we can bring back more punk and rock into the scene with these fresh faces. I like this direction.

Probably because they won't sell out, they have made their way through hard work.
