Episode 8 - The Veronicas' 'Hook Me Up'

This week, The Veronicas’ Hook Me Up album is our subject. The second record from the Brisbane duo catapulted them to become the biggest pop act in the country with number one records and a string of singles that have stood the test of time. Internationally, they made their first major splash but despite being a great pop album, it failed to solidify their place in the global pop space. More than a decade later, ‘Untouched’ is having a moment though, as the track has become an Australian festival favourite.
