Based in Liverpool and forming late 2013, NOVACROW consists of Kitty Staunton on lead vocals and guitar, Federico "Freddy" Spera on bass/backing vocals and Jonyx on guitars/backing vocals. They promise an energetic and erection-inducing live show, fun for the whole family.
The band regularly tours across the UK and have supported a variety of touring artists, including Discharge, Psychostick, Skarlett Riot, and Green Jellÿ. They have featured at numerous festivals in the UK and internationally, including Metal Days and Winter Days of Metal in Slovenia, Whitby Goth Festival and Hard Rock Hell's Highway to Hell festival.
