Children of Nova was a progressive rock band from San Diego, California. Singer Teo Lopez and guitarist Nick Bonnell, formerly of Atlas of Id, met with guitarist Matt Pozzi and drummer Colin Ingram, formerly of Backseat Love Affair in the summer of 2007. Teo and Nick called upon their good friend, bassist Mario Montaño, to round out the lineup.

With the band officially formed, they began work shaping songs for their debut EP. A little over a year later they went into the studio to record their 6-song EP, The Complexity of Light, which was co-produced by Brian Grider and was released on April 20th, 2009. The album was well received and won them the award for Best Hard Rock Band at the 19th Annual San Diego Music Awards. It was also released in it's entirety on the video game, Rock Band.

They would tour the West Coast a handful of times, as well as a self booked national tour in the Spring of 2011. Upon returning from playing across the country, they packed up again and headed to Interlace Audio in Portland, OR and began recording for their full length release, Impossible Landscape, which was co-produced by Stephan Hawkes, and was released on March 13th, 2012.

On February 13th, 2013, they went on a still standing indefinite hiatus.
