Novak have decided to change their name to Antennas. The main reason for that is that their original name have been "hijacked" by another swedish artist (or jackass as we like to call him).

Their first single under the Antennas name will be released in a couple of weeks time and it is just a brilliant tune. Keep your ears open!
