The nominations for this year's Brit Awards have been announced, with none other than London-based alt-rock duo Nova Twins getting two debut nominations. The two-piece have been nominated in the British Group Of The Year and Best British Rock/Alternative Act category.

Also amongst this year's nominations are Sheffield indie-rockers Arctic Monkeys, Cheshire pop-rock crew The 1975, Isle Of Wight indie-rockers Wet Leg and alt-pop heroine Rina Sawayama.

The two Brits nominations come off the back of an incredible twelve months for Nova Twins, who were also nominated in the first ever Best Alternative category at the 2022 MOBOs, played Glastonbury festival and got to release a special remix of Sam Smith and Kim Petras' chart-smashing hit, Unholy.

See the full list of this year's Brits nominations below. The awards take place Saturday February 11 at the London O2 arena.
