Nova Swing aim to stimulate both the brain and the body with great tunes and lyrics worth listening to. We write all our own material and some for other bands and projects too. Our sound is wide ranging - from fast indie/rock to introspective acoustic with lots of guitar and harmonies. We wear our humanist, lefty-liberal politics proudly with songs about greed, oppression and stupidity. And if you really want to, you can dance to it too.
