Beyond Veronica

Putting the POW into Power Pop!

About Me

Untitled Document

"Beyond Veronica are one of the best bands I´ve heard this year." Punk Globe Magazine

"Really solid and consistently enjoyable straight ahead rock `n roll ..." Notlame.com


Beyond Veronica banded in the spring of 2002 and have found their niche with a retro, power pop sound and sexy style to boot. Just when pioneering female rock 'n roll rebels such as The Runaways, Blondie and The Avengers seemed to be a thing of the past, front woman Bonnie Veronica took the reins and led her band into a resurgence of what was all but lost in the mainstream. This accomplished five-piece ensemble is decidedly distinctive in every aural arena.


In 2006 founding members Bonnie Veronica and Kirk Larsen relocated to Portland, Oregon and teamed with bassist Toby Rapp and drummer Kurt Steinke. They plan to release their second album in 2007.


Debut CD now available at fine record stores nationwide and online at Notlame.com, CD Baby.com, and many other sites!
