Nova Dream is an alternative rock trio based in Dublin. Formed in the early months of 2023, the band consists of Joshua Bartschi on bass and vocals, Gabriel Rizzo on guitars and vocals, and Danny Maguire on drums.
Nova Dream began when Josh and Gabriel, fueled by creative passion and a shared vision, started writing music together after being part of a previous band that didn’t last long.
Soon enough, fate intervened when Danny Maguire crossed paths with Josh and Gabriel and joined the band, solidifying their lineup.
Since then, Nova Dream has been crafting their unique blend of alternative rock with elements of grunge and post-punk.
They have played extensively across Ireland, headlining renowned venues such as The Soundhouse, Fibber Magees, Fred Zeppelins, and Sin É, among others. In the last couple months of 2024, the band expanded their reach to the UK, performing their first international shows at The Peer Hat in Manchester and The Gunners in London, marking a significant milestone in their journey.
Throughout 2024, Nova Dream released a series of singles, including City Lights, Elephant in the Room, Running Out of Time, and their most recent tracks, Black Cinema and Rearrange. These releases garnered radio airplay and drew attention from prominent music publications, further solidifying their growing reputation.
These publications and radio stations include Hot Press, The Journal of Music, IMRO, The Beat, RTE, Dublin South FM, Radio Wigwam UK, KCLR 96fm, Lava Lounge Radio, Leyland FM, Post Burnout and many more.
Looking ahead, Nova Dream is preparing to record their highly anticipated debut EP, scheduled for production in the first half of 2025.
