Belfast rockers Novena storm into view with this powerful debut single, Give Me A Call. Laced with infectious guitar riffs and piercing vocals, it announces itself with an undeniable swagger that grips you from the get-go, and refuses to relent until the last beat.
A concoction indie rock and American post-punk, this track manages to straddle the line of melodic and energetic perfectly. The riffs seem to switch genre throughout, ebbing between that floatier indie sound and more in-your-face rock.
Topped with the heavily American influenced vocals, it gives Give Me A Call a very memorable twist which embeds it into your consciousness.
Novena’s sound slots them in brilliantly alongside some of their contemporaries, but with enough uniqueness bought about by their range of influences to keep it fresh.

Give Me A Call is a track which thrusts Novena into the limelight as one of Belfast’s most exciting new up-and-comers.
With their first effort, they have immediately established them as ones to watch in the future. Both lyrically and musically their have set down a marker for what is to come, and we will be waiting expectantly for more to come soon.
