Los Angeles based of Verona, whose members hail originally from Toronto and New York, are fronted by charismatic female lead singer and songwriter, Mandi Perkins, and multi-instrumentalist and producer, Dillon Pace.

The band recently released their debut album, The White Apple, which was written, produced and mixed by the band at their Hollywood studio. The album is a collection of songs about realizing what is real and what is an illusion and learning to tell the difference; It's about letting go of the things that cannot be changed. The name of Verona comes from Shakespeare’s earliest known play, Two Gentlemen of Verona, which has the smallest cast of any of the Shakespeare plays. The band imagined it as the underdog of sorts, surviving on the sheer virtue of its story.

of Verona's sound can best be described as a blend of art rock with an electro heartbeat. MTV featured them as a 'Band to Know' stating, "If you like melodic rock and roll with great female vocals like Florence & The Machine, you'll definitely dig of Verona." Their song Dark In My Imagination has received radio play on specialty stations such as KCRW and WNYC, has over 800,000 plays on SoundCloud, over a million views on You Tube and spent four days at number one on the influential Hype Machine chart online in February 2015. A remix of the song released later that month also reached #1 on the Hype Machine as did their new single, Stay Gold.

The band also puts on an epic live show with a hypnotic visual element. They have played a number of notable events including Lollapalooza, Filter Magazine’s Culture Collide Festival, the Summerfest Music Festival, MTV’s Woodies Festival, Live In The Vineyard, SXSW, Las Vegas Amplified Music Festival and two recently packed shows in London, UK. Regarding their live show, the Examiner recently stated: “It has been said in the past that some bands create a wall of sound; of Verona creates a tsunami of sound that crashes down all around the venue, sweeping the audience away in the pure pleasure of the moment.”

The band has also had over 20 TV synchs since the release of their album on shows such as Grimm, Grey's Anatomy, Pretty Little Liars, Teen Wolf, and Stalker. The band is also currently being featured in Sennheiser’s ad campaign for their new Momentum Headphones along with Disclosure and Imogean Heap.
