Novak
When gotlandic band Kinkaid split up after playing together for four years in the fall of 2002, they left a big void in Gotlands musicscene. With their experimental mix of powerpop, psychadelia and reggae they left their fans wanting more.
Out of the ashes rose; Novak, consisting of some of the founding members of Kinkaid. While maintaining their diverse musical infuences their focus now lies on crafting powerful and moving songs. Novak is a pop/rock band with a quite own brand of quality songwriting, dabbling in pop, rock, americana and 70´s balladry but they’re not a retro band and have created a up to date and very own sound of their influences.
Their live performances possess a rare intensity and leaves you with a warm, happy/sad feeling as the band guide you through their own unique brand of quality songwriting, dabbling in pop, rock, americana and 70´s balladry.
The lyrics often tend to deal with the frustration of everyday boredom, sometimes born out of living in a small town, or on an an island in the middle of an ocean. In other words; classic escapism.
