London-based rock trio DELLA NOVA bursts onto the scene with their high-octane debut album, Della Nova (out December 13th). From searing riffs to expansive soundscapes, the record is a thrilling showcase of modern rock that tips its hat to the genre’s golden eras while fearlessly forging a new path.
Frontman Alex Bowmer leads the charge with 8-string guitar-driven melodies that balance blistering power with moments of reflective serenity. Tracks like “Gimme Love” highlight the band’s knack for pairing razor-sharp hooks with layered production, thanks in part to the meticulous efforts of sound engineer Ben Jeffes. The result is a collection of songs that feel simultaneously raw and meticulously crafted and capture the essence of rock’s rebellious spirit with a fresh edge.
Joe Chauncy’s driving bass and Adam Szabo’s drumming form a rhythm section that keeps the energy relentless across the album’s eleven tracks. Whether it’s the thunderous grooves of “Erica” or the atmospheric textures of “Astral,” DELLA NOVA proves adept at blending grit with melody.
Drawing from Alex’s personal experiences and societal frustrations, the album pulls no punches. From tales of love and loss to sharp critiques of political turmoil, the songs resonate with authenticity and passion. The recording process, rooted in Alex’s unconventional warehouse residence, adds a layer of raw intimacy that seeps into every track.
With its fearless approach to blending nostalgia and modernity, Della Nova establishes the band as a force to be reckoned with. This debut isn’t just a statement but a rallying cry for rock’s resurgence. For fans eager to rediscover the electrifying spirit of the genre, DELLA NOVA are here to make waves.
