Artist History Veronica, the East Coast Rock & Roll band with indie-pop sensibilities, has been together for a few short years. The band members have been involved in their local music scenes in different bands. Fans of Jimmy Eat World, The Cars, The Anniversary, and The Juliana Theory have helped the 5-piece outfit build a following in the Mid-Atlantic states, particularly in PA since 1999. Playing their original brand of music, the band continues to expand their fan base on a growing national level. Veronica's debut full-length record, "Hope for a Brighter Future", was released in late September 2001. Since then they have sold over 75% of all units shipped. This encouraged their label to release it in the college market. Veronica hit the airwaves with a vengeance. The record debuted on the CMJ Top 200 Add board at #6 (1/19/02) right below veteran rockers Bad Religion, De la Soul, Sneaker Pimps, Chemical Brothers, and Hefner. The record has been on the Top 75 for several weeks, so far peaking at #64. Veronica has been on several limited pressing independent recordings. Recently the band did a split release with Rocking Horse Winner and will be featured on several compilations being released this year. Much attention has been given to Veronica as they have been courted by various record companies. Veronica has been cautious in committing to any one label, waiting for the right opportunity to present itself. The opportunity materialized when Chad Militia of The Militia Group approached Veronica and expressed an interest in the band. Weighing their options the band decided to sign with The Militia Group, which has committed to making Veronica one of the companies top priorities. The band has toured the nation 4 time in 2001 and is now taking some time off to write and record new material. Their sophmore release on The Militia Group is due out mid-2003. They are also in talks to do a split release with MH-N Records (Italy), opening the doors to Europe.

Group Members Jasen - vocals/guitar, Ian - bass/vocals, Ryan - guitar/bgv
