Novulent to Headline and Debut First Music Festival in Dallas

The music scene in Texas has been thriving with shoegaze bands like trauma ray, flowerbed, and Glare gaining popularity. Novulent, a rising star in the genre, attributes this to the state’s desire to break away from mainstream country music. They believe that the community of shoegaze bands in Texas has unintentionally come together as a rebellion against the music culture they grew up with.

Novulent, who gained recognition with viral hits like “scars,” thanks to a shoutout from fellow Texan Megan Thee Stallion, is dreaming even bigger than their current success. They reflect on the sudden fame that came to them when “scars” blew up. At the age of 19, they were faced with the decision to drop out of college to pursue music full-time.

Their upcoming NOVMAS FEST promises a musical experience like no other in Dallas. The festival will feature a diverse lineup, including performances by Kwasi Kao and local hardcore bands like Rosasharin, Dead Butterflies, and Bleeding Truth. Novulent’s journey from aspiring tattoo artist to a musical sensation began with experimenting on BandLab at the age of 17. They evolved from creating dream-pop tunes to heavier, emotion-filled tracks that resonate with their fans.

Novulent’s unique sound, characterized by short and impactful songs, draws listeners in and leaves them craving more. Tracks like “saviour,” “rip,” and “soul ties” showcase Novulent’s ethereal voice blending with brooding guitars and rhythmic drums. Their most-streamed song, “scars,” narrates their journey to becoming Novulent and taking music seriously. The song captures the essence of betrayal and overcoming challenges to emerge as an artist.

Inspired by Deftones, Novulent’s music reflects a blend of influences from different genres and styles. Their love for classic rock developed from childhood memories of watching Dragon Ball Z and listening to iconic tracks like “Change (In the House of Flies).” Besides music, Novulent is an avid gamer, with Persona 5 being their all-time favorite video game, showcasing their diverse interests outside the music realm.

As Novulent continues to climb the ranks in the music industry, their dedication, creativity, and passion set them apart as a force to be reckoned with. The allure of their unique sound, combined with their compelling storytelling, creates a musical journey that resonates with audiences worldwide. With NOVMAS FEST on the horizon and an ever-expanding fanbase, Novulent’s future in the music scene looks bright and promising.
