The vast majority of sources that I can see render this as NVDES. While it would be sensible to make this move if it were a mixed bag, I don't think this is a case where it would be useful to readers to move this. —

Support per
MOS:ALLCAPS. Not an acronym but a rendering of nudes. Only about 30 hits on google news and a good proportion are about nude photos. So, while most hits for the band use NVDES, coverage is minimal and these don't appear to be in mainstream music media - ie usage is insufficient to support the allcaps rendering.

Support. This is not an acronym/initialism. It's a stylization of the word "nudes", mimicking the all-uppercase style of ancient Roman Latin, and thus is the kind of marketing font-trickery that
MOS:TM says not to do (in addition to
MOS:ALLCAPS). Add a
WP:CONSISTENT rationale, too: Other bands have used this exact same "neo-Roman" style, complete with "V" for "u" and all-caps, but WP does not do it, and renders in it plain, title-case English. The
most obvious example aside from the already-cited
Jvke. In the case of Nvdes (and Jvke),
WP:COMMONNAME would have us retain the "v", because few sources ever change it to "u"; for the other case I linked to, almost all sources use "u" not "V", so WP does likewise. —
