Bella Novela releasing 'Telemetry' (stream a track)

by Andrew Sacher

Long Beach, CA’s Bella Novela say they love both Iron Maiden and Abba “with equal levels of intensity,” and it sounds like they probably love Heart and maybe Thin Lizzy too. (The artwork above also may give that away.) Not unlike The Darkness, Ghost, or High Spirits, Bella Novela take the sounds of ’70s/’80s stadium rock and make them sound modern without really changing them much at all. They also sound a bit like a “less indie” version of that new Ex Hex album. Their newest album, Telemetry, is due out in the near future and we’ve got the premiere of its title track which pairs twin leads with glammy hooks. It’s a super fun song, and you can check it out below.
