TOVA // BLEAK SOUL // BEX

Meet the lineup

TOVA

TOVA are an off-kilter four-piece rock band from the UK. Blending the in-your-face swagger of Enter Shikari and Highly Suspect with the live energy of IDLES, TOVA’s niche blend of influences immerse their audiences in a frenzy of intensity and emotion!

‘FEAR’ single release is the first glimpse into a new era for TOVA, the brazenly unapologetic vocals, matched with the visceral delivery of the huge guitars, drums and haunting synths showcase the ever-growing depths and message behind the bands music.

‘I haven’t heard attitude like this come out of a band since Enter Shikari, Deftones or Linkin Park, these are the types of heights TOVA can reach’ Nels Hylton BBC Radio1, Future Alternative
