Hailing from Brisbane, Australia, identical twins Jess and Lisa Origliasso formed The Veronicas in 2005. Their style has changed over the years from pop rock, to dance and electro pop. They released two successful albums The Secret Life Of… (2005) and Hook Me Up (2007) before a lengthy hiatus, during which they experimented in music and did low-profile projects. This was partly due to contract issues with their label at the time, Warner Music.

In 2014, they released The Veronicas as a statement of a renewed identity. They described the album as their version of ‘progressive pop’. Jess said:

If things were one dimensional on the first and second record, like, we would say exactly how we felt, and it was all just, total passion, we really didn’t overthink it, we just put down what we were feeling, [this record] is more, 3D-4D… There’s more depth and there’s more thought, and more light and shade."

Their latest single “In My Blood” was certified platinum in Australia. The Veronicas are expected to release a new album in 2017.
