Nova Twins Announce Charity Compilation Album

---

London rockers, Nova Twins, have curated a new charity compilation album, that is set to spotlight and showcase underrepresented POC artists from the rock and alternative scene.

The new charity album, ‘Nova Twins Presents Voices For The Unheard’, will see a limited edition vinyl which will see 100% of proceeds being donated to The Black Curriculum – a UK social enterprise that wants to improve the teaching of Black History throughout the UK.

The new compilation album is being brought to life thanks to support from Dr. Martens, and will feature the likes of Loathe, Oxymorrons, The OBGMs, Big Joanie, and many many more.

Additionally to the announcement of the new compilation album, the band will be hosting a ‘Voices For The Unheard’ livestream conversation, on Febuary 4th (tonight) at 7pm via Dr. Martens’ Instagram page.

Speaking about the project to NME, Vocalist/Guitarist Amy Love explained “There’s a lack of representation and understanding of POC alternative artists, particularly in the UK. People are happy for black people to be in R&B and hip-hop because they feel like it’s safe and that’s the done thing. These are genres that black people have pioneered, but there’s a lack of education about how rock was also pioneered and helped to move forward by artists like Sister Rosetta Tharpe. The genre was carried by a lot of white men, but a lot of the POC artists got lost along the way.”

“People don’t think we belong here. We get loads of stereotypes. People think that we’re R&B or dancers. We just want to create an eye-opening experience for the gatekeepers to understand that this isn’t going anywhere and see what’s really going on out there. In pop music, the headliners at big festivals reflect what’s happening today. That doesn’t happen in rock music. If people want rock music and the live industry to survive then they need to diversify.”
