Following their recent global comeback with their long-awaited release of ‘Perfect’, The Veronicas are back with ‘Detox’, a wild fusion of Pop-Rock, Ska, poetry and Skate Punk that’s bound to elevate your heart rate, have you banging your head, and shouting along to its addictive hooks all Summer long. 

‘Detox’ is the second release from The Veronicas’ forthcoming Gothic Summer album, the track explores the chaos and hypnosis of toxic relationships, while delivering provoking lyrics like “I’m on my knees, I’ll never leave – I love my friends like I love all my enemies”.  Speaking of the single, Jessie and Lisa say “Detox is about the multi-sensory disorientation you feel being in a toxic relationship. The push-pull dynamic and control those people have over you, and the desperation to detox them out of your system.”  

The accompanying music video was created with Australian Pro BMX Rider-turned-Video Director Pat Freyne and is heavily inspired by the song’s fighting energy of keeping your head above water. Featuring references to the spontaneity of Quentin Tarantino’s greatest dance scenes, The Veronicas explain their vision, “We contrasted wide shots with extreme close ups, and purposefully improvised dance scenes to encourage physical and emotional mirroring in the moment. A mix of 60s choreography, fused with some Michael Jackson kicks and high energy, to encapsulate the fighting emotional volatility of the song. The video ends in a burst of underwater color and sinking euphoria upon the tempo change, giving in to the push-pull cycle of the song’s lyrics.”

After ‘Perfect’ set the stage for the latest achievement in The Veronicas’ story, ‘Detox’ serves as a testament to their historic love of genre-fusing songwriting and pushing artistic boundaries. This is the song of your Gothic Summer.

About THE VERONICAS

The Veronicas hail from Australia, yet their impact has been felt around the globe. Jessica and Lisa Origliasso, twin sisters, were teenagers when they moved to Los Angeles, signing a record deal with the Grandfather of Punk Rock, Seymour Stein (Madonna, The Ramones) to Warner Bros/Sire Records. They released their first album, THE SECRET LIFE OF to critical acclaim with 3 top 10 singles, including their songs with Swedish hitmaker Max Martin (Pink, Britney Spears, The Weekend), ‘4EVER’ and ‘EVERYTHING I’M NO’T. The Veronicas first #1 followed with their 2nd album HOOK ME UP, sky rocketing the girls into the USA market with a billboard top #20 hit of their now iconic hit ‘UNTOUCHED’. The Veronicas surprised their fans in 2015 by releasing a piano driven ballad, ‘YOU RUIN ME’. A brave departure from their pop/rock roots, which put them in the Australian songwriters hall of fame. ‘YOU RUIN ME’ awarded The Veronicas their second #1 hit, with a top #5 billboard hit in the UK, and throughout Europe. In 2016 The Veronicas were back yet again at number #1 with their euphoric dance floor Anthem ‘IN MY BLOOD’. The Veronicas are currently in the studio working on their 6th studio record. With countless awards under their belt from MTV Australia, MTV Europe, Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards, ARIA, APRA, TMF, & Los Premios MTV, The Veronicas are not slowing down.
