The Untouched duo, made up of twin sisters Jess and Lisa Origliasso, confirmed that they have started work on the follow-up to Hook Me Up.
"We've been experimenting with a lot of different sounds for this next record," Jess told the Daily Star.
"We've also been doing some writing collaborations with the amazing Suzi Quatro."
Quatro rose to fame in 1973 with 'Can The Can' and has since released 15 studio albums.
The Veronicas previously revealed that they are eager to work with Marilyn Manson in the future.
They tweeted back in October they had began the process of creating their third album. It is due to be released sometime this Year.
At Christmas they performed a Song via their YouTube which is rumored to be on the Album...
They've also started performing a song called 'Victim' on their Tour, also set for record.
Jess added: "We've also been doing some writing collaborations as well with Erinn and Matt from Streamer Bendy, and also the amazing Suzi Quatro."
Only heard of Peaches but I'm sure they'll pull off some great tracks after collaborating and researching for the Album.
Hopefully it'll be released sooner rather than later this Year... they seem keen to get it out though

Ladytron 
Expect an electro influence. Sounds good to me... And Suzi Quatro is an absolute legend, the Diana Vickers of the 70s

Posted by: Kuki Sanban 2nd April 2010, 10:55 PM
Veronicas last album was easily one of the best albums of all time imo, can not wait for this one at all!!!
Posted by: Aled. 2nd April 2010, 11:51 PM
Should be good Finally got round to listening to both their previous albums last year and love them, especially Secret Life Of...
Posted by: Jack 3rd April 2010, 12:29 AM
I love both of their albums and really took notice of them last year. Can't wait for new stuff from them, hope they can get decent success with it too. 
Posted by: Frank! 4th April 2010, 12:33 PM
This will be massive. Hook Me Up was really one of my fave albums of 2008
Posted by: Jamieed 6th June 2010, 08:39 PM
3 mins to tell you they've been writing for the record over last month.
Posted by: Joao.Kills 7th June 2010, 09:07 AM
Lies lol. They've been writing since before Xmas.
Posted by: Jamieed 7th June 2010, 12:14 PM
I was hoping most of it would be recorded by now 
.
Ah well, at least it won't be a rushed job.
Posted by: Silver Rocket 7th June 2010, 09:18 PM
I hope all countries will be getting it in unison this time, whenever it may arrive.
Posted by: Joao.Kills 7th June 2010, 09:21 PM
It was a heck of an album but it was one mess of a release.
Posted by: RobotLove 7th June 2010, 09:46 PM
They were but they had only done 5 or 6 songs before Xmas
Posted by: Jamieed 7th June 2010, 10:21 PM
Yup!
It'll no doubt be Australia then US then UK though so they can promote in each place.
Posted by: Tactical 7th June 2010, 10:21 PM
What happened to these girls.
Posted by: Silver Rocket 8th June 2010, 07:30 PM
What do you mean?! It says they're working on a new album throughout the whole topic...
Posted by: Gramii 8th June 2010, 09:16 PM
Their first album was fantastic! I loved the evolution in sound with 'Hook Me Up' but it wasn't as consistant as their debut despite some pretty damkn impressive tracks. Im really looking forward to hearing what they come up with this time round.
Posted by: Jamie. 11th October 2010, 11:12 PM
3 new previews from Atlantic City Show in August:
SET IT OFF

WOAH OH
No sign of any release dates yet though! I need this.

Their new Christmas Song titled 'Grown Up Christmas List':
Posted by: Joao.Kills 25th March 2011, 11:41 AM
Following you both on Twitter it’s obvious that you are having a great time writing this album.Thank You for your incredible patience while we’ve been growing and transforming
I should warn you, We are doing this interview in our pajamas……… at 5:12 PM in the afternoon……….
Q. Who is the coolest person you have had a chance to hang out with while writing the album? Feel free to name drop
We have been rather experimentative from the beginning of this record, in forming creative relationships with different people. Some people we’ve worked with before, such as Toby Gad (who we wrote untouched with), to collaborating with new producers such as Fernando Garibay (New Lady Gaga), and one of our Favourite songwriter/producers Gary Clarke (Natalie Imbruglia, Liz Phair). Upon meeting Gary, we instantly formed a musical kinship that has lead to the three of us writing a majority of songs for this record together.
We have worked with Artist friends of ours for sonic perspectives, and inspiration as well, such as Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins), Butch Vig, Tyler Bryant, Illsey Juber & Alison Porter (The Canyons). Just getting in a room, and jamming ideas has been a beautifully inspiring, and important process to this creating of this record.
In the POP world, music style/sonic’s have become so over saturated with ever changing/borrowing/stealing/whoring of the same sounds..we as the listener become confused and desensitized to who is who, and what is coming from the Artist, and what is coming from the guidelines of the industry.
We wanted to make sure what we were creating felt grounded in our identity as The Veronicas, even while working with some producers that seem to have a hand in everyone’s pie right now. We have been focusing on pushing them out of that box, while appreciating their POP sensibility and success, which in turn has help to push us to places we’ve never been.
Q. Will the album be released at the same time on iTunes & hard copy all around the world?
As much as we would like to have control over decisions such as that, most of it falls under what we call ‘music politics’. But in Veronicas dreamland, we would hope so
We have changed management since the last record, & the all the people we’ve worked with at our Label Warner Brothers have completely changed as well. It has been the main contributor as to why this record is taking 4 times as long to come out as the last one. We are working closely now with all new people, and we are feeling good about this release being simultaneous all around the world.
Q. Have you chosen the first single off the new record yet? And if you have, can you give us any hints or clues about it?
There is a lot of talk about which song should be a first single. We don’t have a definitive decision on that just yet.
All we can tell you is that the Sonic and Lyrical direction of this record is a Dramatisation of our emotions/ Visual Art/ Musical influence/ reflections on society, and the world around us. The conceptual message, looking at the body of work thus far, seems to scream Mirror. A mirror of us, our experiences, our lovers, our enemies, our idols, our gods. Finding ourselves in the strangest of places, some we would never expect, or even want.
I think we’ve really found ourselves in the process of this record. I know for sure that we aren’t the same woman who made the last record. We have fallen into ourselves, Fallen in love, out of love, fallen, and got back up.. we are ready to claim our creations with a new energy & a new light.
Q. Do you girls ever disagree on who will sing certain parts of a song? and if you do disagree… how do you resolve the problem?
Haha, YES! .. by now we know eachothers voices well enough to know who should sing what.. But we still experiment. It also depends on the song. Some feel more Personal to one of us. We don’t feel it has to be ‘even’ all the time.
Sometimes we just yell and scream until one of us gets our way
Q. How many songs do you expect to have on the album?
We are thinking about 10 songs for the New Record.
We are also working on a new side project together, which we can’t say too much about just yet.. but its going to be a departure from what we do in The Veronicas.
Q. Are you more excited to release this album than previous ones?
We feel a different kind of ownership, and attachment to this record definitely.
We are incredibly proud of the way the last two records have ‘grown us up’ in a strange sense. The process, and touring, the chance to express ourselves through our innocence and learning. But this record is our coming into what we really dreamed for The Veronicas. We know what we’re doing now.. We enjoyed the ride from the past records, but this time we’re taking the drivers seat.
Here’s a coupe that aren’t about the new record
Q. What’s your favorite item in your wardrobe at the moment?
Jessica: To be honest i’ve been on an Anti Fashion movement for the past few weeks. I refuse to wear anything other than my pajamas…. that I stole from Lisa. Also a top hat i’ve adopted, also stolen from Miss Lisa Marie.
Lisa: I’ve fallen in love with the late 60′s and 70′s rock era of fashion lately, and adopted a black felt 1960′s vintage hat of Jessicas (Which I’ve conveniently ‘forgetton’ to give back)
and beaded multi-colored gypsy earrings.Q. What’s the coolest thing you’ve done in the past month?
Jessica: Billy.
Lisa: Being invited to go to Fashion week in New York City was definitely a high light this month for me.
Again, thank you so much for agreeing to do this!
Ebony, thank you, and all the lovers, for your on going support, and patience. We can promise it will be well worth it. Every part of this new record is coming from us, including the art work, to the Video concepts, films, videos etc. Its you guys that inspire us to do our best.

Glad they've been working with Toby Gad again
And also Fernando Garibay 
Wasn't expecting that one!
Posted by: Neil 25th March 2011, 11:55 AM
Loved their first 2 albums, so I have high expectations for this one!
Posted by: FM11 25th March 2011, 11:56 AM
What a dull interview. But yey for simultanous release.

They sound off the scale pretentious.

Posted by: gooddelta 25th March 2011, 01:55 PM
I was going to say, all the talk of 'sonic landscapes' etc..., they've gone all indiessssszzzz//!___ on us
Still, I'm very much looking forward to the album, the debut is up there with my favourites of all time and the follow up was pretty damn special as well!
Posted by: Joao.Kills 22nd May 2011, 04:23 PM
An announcement in 10 days apparently!
Posted by: JΛRK 22nd May 2011, 04:35 PM
I do hate when artists make announcements about making future announcements. YOU DON'T NEED TO ANNOUNCE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO ANNOUNCE SOMETHING. JUST ANNOUNCE IT!
Posted by: Joao.Kills 22nd May 2011, 05:26 PM
The album isn't far off, & a single release is even closer RT: @JoJo_Veronica Did u guys already start recording the album?I'm guessing the announcement is going to be about the single...

On the song though, it is pretty good, hopefully it makes the album. Would love to hear a studio version - there are other new songs on that channel that they performed at the Viper Room

I think it's slicked back? Why her hair is behind her ears I will never know.

Posted by: Joao.Kills 21st August 2011, 05:35 PM
THE Veronicas have finally given fans a taste of their long-awaited third record during a sold-out show at famed Los Angeles club, the Viper Room.
Joel Edgerton was among the gumleaf mafia cheering the Origliasso twins on as they unveiled an edgier rock sound on Cold, Let Me Out and Baby I'm Ready, as well as a killer version of Nancy Sinatra's Bang Bang.
Jess and Lisa revealed that British hitmaker Nellee Hooper, whose resume includes Massive Attack, Madonna and U2, has been producing tracks for the record.
Jess's mate and Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan has also been a sounding board.
"Obviously we've been hanging out with Billy," Jess said.
"He's making a new record with the Pumpkins now and we send him stuff all the time for feedback and advice. He's a fairly tough critic but we're our harshest critics anyway.
"He's such a cool guy."
The Veronicas plan to have a new single out in Australia before the end of the year with the record due to be released in early 2012.
The girls play another sold-out Viper Room gig on Thursday and are keen to repeat their success when they come home to Australia.
Posted by: Joao. 28th February 2012, 04:43 PM
@Jessicaveronica Days away from having a release date on our new single, and album! X
Several months later... If 'Cold' isn't on the album, I will kill someone from Warner.
Posted by: Silver Rocket 28th February 2012, 04:47 PM
It's been so long and I've totally overplayed everything from both of their album eras now. I'm excited but if/when they release it over here it'll be like starting over again as it's been 3 years since 'Untouched' now.
Still, I know it'll be brilliant as they can do no wrong.

One of my acts of all time, they've got a lot to live up too on this album! I just hope they haven't left it too late
Posted by: GrAmii 5th April 2012, 09:08 AM
I am skeptical this is going to be any good. What a bizarre wait when they had a US hit and minor success here to capitalise on.
Posted by: Nick F1 2nd June 2012, 03:10 PM
'Life On Mars' is the name of the new album!

New single 'Lolita' is out July 27th!
Posted by: Neil 10th July 2012, 08:41 PM
FINALLY! Can't wait to hear it. The long wait has made my expectations inflate so I'm not sure they're going to be able to live up to them, lol.
Posted by: dannjohn3 26th July 2012, 05:11 PM
The song has premiered. It's catchy!
Posted by: Silver Rocket 26th July 2012, 07:31 PM
It's AMAZING. I should've known they wouldn't disappoint. Now let's hope they don't have to start from scratch to get success because of the unjustifiably long wait for this...
Posted by: Umi 26th July 2012, 07:50 PM
The plinky plonky bits at the start and during the verses remind me so much of Lights. I feel oddly proud that I can say someone is possibly ripping off Ellie. Anyway, not a big fan of the song. It's really generic which in itself isn't bad but it's generic done badly. Can't they go back to making stuff like Untouched?
Posted by: Neil 26th July 2012, 07:57 PM
OH I LOVE IT.
Posted by: Jonjo 27th July 2012, 01:04 AM
It's very good. Really catchy and very them. I like how they've updated their sound a bit. It's generic, yes. But it's one of the better generic songs.
Posted by: Neil 27th July 2012, 06:39 AM
Oh it's already on (Australian) iTunes. Gonna have this on repeat this weekend I think <3
Posted by: Cal 28th July 2012, 02:00 PM
Really liking 'Lolita'! I remember being in love with 'Everything I'm Not' back in 2006, haha. I wasn't a fan of their second album, but this new one sounds promising.
Posted by: Silver Rocket 29th July 2012, 07:15 PM
This is pretty much the soundtrack to my life at the moment. I'd all but lost interest in these girls, but it's safe to say my obsession has been revitalised.

This is very much a grower (as well as being instant!). It's fantastic, seriously. I really hope the album is more in a similar vein to this!
Posted by: itgotwoozy 1st August 2012, 03:20 AM
i really really like this
Posted by: Liаm 1st August 2012, 07:54 AM
The underlying bassline reminds me so much of Lights by Ellie Goulding, especially when it's slightly distorted in the Bassnectar remix!
Really really good stuff anyway, I didn't have amazing excitement for this but I just thought I'd listen and I'm glad I did. If the album is anything like this count me in!
Posted by: Silver Rocket 30th August 2012, 05:20 PM
Well, the video is out!
Posted by: Neil 30th August 2012, 05:42 PM

Posted by: mr_aly 23rd October 2014, 11:26 PM
I couldn't find a topic about the album, but I thought I'd create one as we now have a lot of information about it.
It's up for pre-order in Aus and released on November 21st there, there will be news for other territories coming tomorrow. It's a self titled album, and here is the cheaptastic and bland cover:
People in Aus who pre-order get a track called 'Line Of Fire' as an instant grat, which can be heard http://www.josepvinaixa.com/blog/the-veronica-the-veronicas-line-of-fire/
There are 14 tracks on the standard edition, there will be a deluxe with more tracks.
I can't believe this is happening, after all these years! 'Line Of Fire' is also ACE! 
Posted by: Ryan. 25th October 2014, 04:03 PM
There was a topic so I've merged it. Very interested to hear this album as 'You Ruin Me' was an unexpected but wonderful surprise!
Posted by: gooddelta 25th October 2014, 04:16 PM
Excited to hear this, the album cover picture isn't too bad but that logo is rather ugly.
Posted by: Neil 26th October 2014, 08:23 AM
Line of Fire is my everything right now.
Posted by: mr_aly 6th November 2014, 03:23 PM
According to iTunes the UK release date of this is 23rd February 2015, presumably the single 'If You Love Someone' will be a week before?

Webrip of Album:
http://www.josepvinaixa.com/blog/the-veronicas-the-veronicas-web/
Only skimmed through. Sounds solid.
Posted by: gooddelta 17th November 2014, 03:09 PM
The album is very 'classic Veronicas' on first listen, especially the fantastic Born Bob Dylan. Good to see they haven't deviated from their sound too much.
Love the weird chord progressions in Always too, reminds me of South African duo The Arrows.
Posted by: HonkyBonkington 17th November 2014, 04:30 PM
So I gave the album a listen after being so impressed by YRM & IYLS and it's a brilliant album overall. Track 1 started off promising but then I didn't think it went anywhere hence not liking it but I've loved every other track. Currently up to "More Like Me" and it's sounding gorgeous! Mad Love, Born Bob Dylan & Teenage Millionaire are my other highlights so far.
The last few at the end kinda got boring though.
Good job girls!
Posted by: mr_aly 22nd November 2014, 12:51 AM
I just gave this album a listen in full, I'm satisfied with it after one listen! I thought that it didn't have their grit/spunk/angst/whatever but the second half really picked up for me, to be honest I love the whole album after one listen except 'Sanctified' and 'Teenage Millionaire', but I trust they will grow on me (even if 'Sanctified' sounded like a complete mess).
'Cold' is absolutely amazing, and 'Let Me Out' is as perfect as ballads come. Other highlights (bar the two singles) are 'Cruel', 'Born Bob Dylan' and 'Mad Love'.
Posted by: Riser 1st December 2014, 05:11 AM
The album has debuted at #2 in Australia, matching the peak of the Veronicas' other albums. It also reached gold certification in its first week which is a terrific start!
Posted by: Ryan. 19th January 2015, 07:13 PM
They have announced 5 tour dates for the UK in March with tickets going on sale later this week!

I will find a way to go to the London one, but why does it have to be a weekday? Gah.
Posted by: gooddelta 19th January 2015, 08:31 PM
I NEED to go to London or Brighton too, though Tuesday and Wednesday are far from ideal.
Posted by: barbaric_dan 19th January 2015, 09:18 PM
Lol isn't the London gig G-A-Y?? Haha
Posted by: mr_aly 19th January 2015, 09:21 PM
It's Heaven, which is a concert venue during the week and G-A-Y at weekends.
Posted by: gooddelta 19th January 2015, 09:35 PM
I feel so proud that they're doing a Brighton gig. Back in 2005 I was probably the only person in the whole city that had heard of them! Love Concorde 2 as well, would have loved to have seen them there but I'll be in London at the time.
Posted by: gooddelta 12th March 2015, 10:09 AM
They were absolutely brilliant live, gah!
There was an amazing acoustic section, including a ballad version of Everything I'm Not, which was glorious <3
You Ruin Me, 4Ever, Untouched and If You Love Someone were all highlights. Amazingly they performed Lolita too, I thought they'd disowned the song!
Posted by: mr_aly 12th March 2015, 02:38 PM
Agh, I so would have gone if it was a more convenient day! They're so incredible live aren't they?
At least I can finally buy the album next week, only waited years for this.
Posted by: Jonjo 17th March 2015, 02:58 PM
Just giving this album it's first spin now!
Only on 'Cruel' now, but I'm liking the first three tracks, a lot. 'Did You Miss Me (I'm A Veronica)' is great and 'Cruel' is a brilliant single choice. I think this should have actually been the second single!
---
EDIT: This album is very P!nk, isn't it? (I know they've always been very similar artists anyway, but this album in partcular, especially the final track 'You And Me')
Posted by: Joe. 17th March 2015, 03:59 PM
Listened to this last night and it's really strong. Quite a few standouts. It'll be just one of many chart causalities this year

It's rumoured that Jess is going to be a judge on The X Factor Australia this year!

Jess is a bit of a bitch to be fair, I can see the role suiting her.
