context_page_description: The Veronicas is the third studio album by Australian duo The Veronicas. It was issued on 21 November 2014 as their first release with Sony Music Australia following their departure from former label Warner Bros. Records. The album comes seven years after their second record Hook Me Up. While they were with Warner Bros. Records, the album was to be issued under the title Life on Mars with a 2012 release date before it was pushed back and eventually shelved.
  The Veronicas, which was produced from 2010-2014, features collaborations with Butch Vig, Nellee Hooper, Daniel Johns and long time collaborator Toby Gad. The music on the album slightly differs from their previous pop rock/electronic rock albums, featuring a "progressive pop" sound, drawing inspiration from numerous genres such as blues, trip hop, rock and roll, folk, grunge and rap.
  The Veronicas debuted and peaked at number-two on the Australian Albums Chart, becoming their third consecutive number-two chart peak in Australia.
context_section_description: The Veronicas was released in Australia and New Zealand on 21 November 2014. The album will be released in the United States on 24 February 2015. When the album was made available for pre-order in Australia on 24 October 2014 an iTunes countdown single, "Line of Fire", was shared as a downloadable track. During a question and answer session on their official Twitter page The Veronicas revealed that a deluxe edition of the album will also be released, however a release date has not been announced.
  In May 2011, The Veronicas began releasing videos to YouTube showing their meetings with record labels and creating new music. By June 2011 they announced that they would perform new music at The Viper Room in August of that year. Performing in front of a sold-out crowd they debuted tracks "Dead Cool", "Whoa Oh", "Cold", "Let Me Out" and "Baby I'm Ready" which displayed a more "edgier rock sound" compared to their previous work. On 29 September 2014, The Veronicas performed "You Ruin Me" for the first time on The X Factor (Australia) live elimination show. They performed "You Ruin Me" on other television shows including the Australian version of Dancing with the Stars and Sunrise, where they also sang "If You Love Someone".
  On 30 October, The Veronicas performed seven tracks from the album for the first time on radio for Today Network's World Famous Rooftop. The set included "If You Love Someone", "Cruel", "Did You Miss Me (I'm a Veronica)", "Sanctified", "Mad Love", "Cold" and "You Ruin Me". The duo supported 5 Seconds of Summer on the USA leg of their Rock Out with Your Socks Out Tour during November 2014 in Los Angeles and Phoenix. During the Phoenix shows, Jessica and Lisa wore identical figure hugging latex dresses in black and red, respectively, which were designed by Abigail Grey Danus.
