Few of us remember The catchy punk rock-styled girls scooting onto the scene in 2005. With a punky clothes and pop-rock hooks, The Veronicas could have been easily dismissed as another Avril act.
But unlike Avril, The Veronicas sashayed into pop with ease. While Avril was inducing lobotomies with the tween-friendly "Girlfriend," The Veronicas took to a more mature - yet still easy listening - pop with their breakthrough, "Untouched," which just happened to find its way to The Hills and E! promos for awards season.
The Veronicas, which consist of Austrailian twins Lisa and Jessica Origliasso fused electronic and classical elements into their latest album Hook Me Up. The title track boasts the aforementioned infectious electronic beats to make for a quick dance-inducing track.
Much if the album is a throwback to the '80s - sticky pop fueled by synthesizers and technological sounds that you feel bad listening to. The most thought that went into the album is obviously how to make the best dance track, and these girls know it. They don't try to get too complicated with deep, thought-provoking lyrics. They keep it simple and keep it catchy.
Stop by The Intersection on July 12 to see these twin imports in action for their Revenge is Sweeter Tour. Tickets are $15. Doors at 5:30 p.m., show at 6:30.
