AceShowbiz - Australian pop duo The Veronicas, composed of sisters Jess and Lisa Origliasso, recently performed a fresh cover for triple j’s renowned Like A Version series. Their rendition of sombr’s track “12 to 12” was recorded as part of the station’s expanded Like A Version month, which features more frequent releases beyond the usual Friday morning sessions.

In the studio, The Veronicas introduced their cover by highlighting sombr’s songwriting prowess. They explained that “12 to 12” immediately caught their attention as a prime example of masterful pop writing, emphasizing the song’s compelling structure and melodic strength. As seasoned songwriters themselves, the duo expressed admiration for artists like sombr who possess a keen instinct for crafting standout pop songs.

Alongside the cover, The Veronicas also performed their hit single “Untouched,” originally released in 2007 from their album Hook Me Up. This track remains one of their most memorable songs and has experienced a resurgence in popularity through social media and streaming platforms in recent years.

This session marked a significant milestone for the Brisbane-raised sisters, representing their official debut performing inside the Like A Version studio. Having been influential figures in Australia’s pop scene for nearly two decades, this appearance adds to their longstanding career achievements.

Their performance is part of triple j’s special Like A Version event this month, which showcases a broader lineup of artists delivering both covers and original songs. Earlier in the week, Baltimore hardcore band Turnstile kicked off the expanded series with a tribute to the Stone Roses by covering “I Wanna Be Adored,” honoring the late bassist Mani.

Other artists slated to appear during the series include Oklou, Baker Boy, Lucy Dacus, MAY-A, Kevin Abstract, and Inkabee, further enriching the diverse musical offerings of the event.

Over time, Like A Version has become one of triple j’s most beloved segments, known for artists reinterpreting unexpected tracks and exposing audiences to fresh perspectives within pop and alternative music genres. The Veronicas joining this tradition underscores their continued relevance and adaptability in the music industry.
