UNTOUCHED - THE VERONICAS
In the wonderful land of Oz, where pop-rock mercifully continues to reign, the Veronicas are thriving heroines, with five top 10s, including No. 2 “Untouched.” But twin singer/songwriters Jess and Lisa Origliasso are not exactly strangers to America. “When It All Falls Apart” grazed top 40 playlists in 2006, but the V’s were lumped in with less industrious youngsters Ashlee Simpson and Ryan Cabrera. Their sound is now brawnier, with punk-pop production that thrashes like modern-day Blondie, chaperoned by comparably ballsy vocals.
