he Veronicas are gearing up to release their sophomore album, Hook Me Up, in the US on August 26th!  The eye-popping video for “Untouched” — the first single from Hook Me Up —earned the super-hot duo a performance on MTV’s TRL, which is airing August 20th at 11amEST.   Also, Lisa and Jess recently announced that they’re hitting the road with the Jonas Brothers for a select string of shows later this month (tour dates below).

Hook Me Up represents a stylistic leap from the girls’ 2006 debut The Secret Life Of… by swapping the latter’s pop-punk leanings for Hook Me Up’s dance friendly, beat-driven feel.  The album features a host of top notch hitmakers, including Shelly Peiken (Christina Aguilera), Greg Wells (Mika), John Feldmann (The Used, Good Charlotte), Billy Steinberg (Madonna), and their Secret Life collaborator Toby Gad, who also wrote Fergie’s 2007 hit “Big Girls Don’t Cry.”  Hook Me Up has already achieved double-platinum status in the girls’ native Australia.

New Kids On The Block’s new track, “Single,” featuring Ne-Yo is available now on iTunes as is the pre-order for The Block which hits stores September 2nd and features the mellow jam “Summertime” as well as collaborations with some of the biggest names in pop music.  In addition to “Single” with R&B superstar Ne-Yo, other collaborations include “Grown Man” (with The Pussycat Dolls and uber-producer Teddy Riley), “Put It on My Tab” (with the ubiquitous Akon), “Big Girl Now” (with NY dance-pop diva Lady GaGa) and the much-buzzed about “Full Service” (with fellow supergroup New Edition).

NKOTB will support The Block with a sold-out tour that starts on September 18th in Toronto and continues through the end of November.  NKOTB are also gearing up for an exclusive 90-minute live event, “New Kids on the Block: A Behind The Music Special Event” premiering on VH1, September 28 at 8PM (ET/PT). In a first-of-its-kind production, the special will celebrate the history of the New Kids On The Block while also documenting what inspired their 2008 reunion in their own words. Interspersed throughout the special will be live reports from Boston, counting down until VH1 airs a live broadcast of the first three songs from the world renowned group’s sold out concert at the TD Banknorth Garden in their hometown of Boston, Massachusetts.
