The name of the first album of the band is, Ahoban. The album's call song became very popular then. This anti-drug song received a special award from the government at that time. The second album features a number of lyrical songs. One of them was a song titled "Rajakarer Talika Chai". The song is sung in the style of Pink Floyd's song Another Brick in the Wall. All songs by Nova, except for Didi Jai of Vaiso album and the songs of the mixed albums, are written and composed by Ahmed Fazal.[1] The band went into a hiatus in the 2000s but made a comeback with the album "Return of the Nova" released in 2010.[2][3][4][5]
