The violent anger we've seen combust over the past two years in Black Rights, explodes into an abrasive sound in this album.

With Politically driven lyrics and a bass-line that will shake you to your very core, this is what punk is meant to be. The British Press have coined the band as grime punk, NME describes them as sitting in the same realms as The Prodigy and Enter Shikari but i think they are a refreshing contrast to a punk scene full of angry white men.
Released by 333wreckords (founded by Fever333) the label set out to offer ‘a creative alternative to the banal structure of the music industry as well as propagating art that challenges' something Nova Twins definitely do.
Many songs on the album reflect the prejudice Black women experience in the music industry and the real world. The earth shaking Bullet quotes ‘don't you ever touch my hair unless you're paid to cut it’ kicking back against the harassment they've endured.
Genre bending songs such as Taxi are a major stand out point in the album and prove that these girls are not just rock artists. Speaking with Get in her Ears, bassist Georgia South explained, their audience are “seeing them play a different type of music to what people are used to seeing Black women play.”
“seeing us play a different type of music to what people are used to seeing black women play.”

The vibrancy of the album and all production that came with it (including several music videos such as the fabulously abstract devil's faces) add the perfect touch of fantasy to this otherwise serious album.
