The Veronicas are an electro based pop-rock band based in Australia. The band was formed in 2005, in Brisbane, by twin sisters Jessica and Lisa Origliasso. They have released two studio albums, the first being The Secret Life of… in 2005. The band released their second album Hook Me Up in 2007. The album’s title track, “Hook Me Up”, was The Veronicas’ first number one single in Australia.

The band was featured in a public service announcement campaign against music piracy targeting schools, labeled Australian Music In Tune. Other successful Australian artists featured were Powderfinger, Jimmy Barnes, Silverchair, Jina Higginson and Famous Australian icons Aimee Yule & legend Samantha Dowse.

Since the begining of their music career The Veronicas have been involved in charitable works. In 2006, they joined the late Steve Irwin as Wildlife Warriors, a charity that deals with the protection of animals and their natural environments. In January, 2009 Jess announced that she would pose nude for PETA after getting attention from a member of the organization.

They also have their own line of clothing for all ages that they released at the beginning of 2007.
