Erupting from the urban areas of the Midwest, Verona Grove attracts crowds with their high energy stage show and original power pop riff rock. Formed in the summer of 2000 the trio takes pride in its honest lyrics and catchy hooks that outline their brand of rock. Verona Grove is fronted with the vocals of Tony Anders, a pop influenced songwriter and guitar player, and Charlie Wilhelm, an Emo kid of the 90´s plays bass.

In a lifestyle surrounded with college education, rock n´ roll dreams, clubs and relationships, Anders takes his song writing influence from the real life situations that surrounds his everyday thoughts and experiences. Verona Grove released their first full length album at the age of 19 entitled, "Half Tanked." Two years later in the summer of 2005 Verona Grove found their niche in the power pop genre and released six new songs on their EP, "From the Tablet to the Towers." Verona Grove recently recorded with engineer/producer, Justin Perkins at Smart Studios in Madison, WI, with their new single, "Smalltown Celebrity," based off of the frustration of the music scene that surrounds the band in the Midwest. This single will be included on their next release planned for summer of 2007.

Verona Grove stays busy writing and performing, determined to steal the musical interest of hundreds of listeners every week. With the ability to pack clubs full of young college students, the band has no problem fulfilling their ambition´ Verona Grove has acquired a very loyal following over the past few years. After the band redefined their landscape as a power trio in January of 2005, the attitude and style definitely fell into place.

In March of 2006 the band was approached by Pats Record Company, a small division of Universal under the ownership of Pat Magnerella(Green Day, Goo Goo Dolls, All American Rejects), and Verona Grove signed the deal in June. Currently Verona Grove has temporarily relocated to L.A. and are in the process of recording the upcoming album to be released with Pats Record Co.
