Piano for a Friend

In mid-2005, Verona went back to the studio to record demos that in the end became an album. They recorded four tracks: "Wondering Mind", "Broken Promise", "I'm you" and a new wave version of "Make a Wish". "Wondering Mind" was the first song completely composed by the four members of the band.

In late 2005, Verona took another big break. Goitia and Diaz played a couple of shows with their former bands, while Chevy and Atari were focused on solo recordings.

In 2006, Verona continued recording their songs and finished by the end the year. In the beginning, the album was thought to have two songs in Spanish, including a version of "Mourning Days" and "Dead or Alive" (unreleased). "Dead or Alive" was excluded from the album and was replaced by "Mark of Excellence", which was composed by Atari and Chevy. Chevy said, "We initially thought that recording something in Spanish would work for us, we'd probably get radio airtime, but this is not what Verona is about." Atari added, "In the other hand, Mark of Excellence defines this new process that we are going through, this is the music style we have always been looking for..."

Anywhere included guest appearances by Håkan Löfdahl (the lead singer in the Swedish band The Last Hours) and Jean Carlo de Oliveira (Candy 66's lead singer). All tracks were mixed by Jean Carlo de Oliveira, except for "Mark of Excellence" which was mixed by Håkan Löfdahl and "Piano for a Friend", mixed by Juan Carlos Nieto.

"Mark of Excellence" was released on May 25, 2007. to the band's surprise, the song received airtime nationwide,making Verona the first Venezuelan English singing band to achieve this. Venezuela's laws states that: "local bands have to follow certain rules in order to get airtime, which include singing in Spanish. Airtime in the country is divided in two, 70% Spanish singing national bands and 30% for other languages and international bands". This single was included in that 30% competing with the best bands around the world. "Mourning Days" also received airtime as Anywhere's second single.

On October 5, 2007, Verona won an Urbe award for “Best Non-Capital Band”, i.e. nominated and voted by the public as the best band in Venezuela that is not from Caracas. Verona could not compete in the nomination for “Best Capital Band” since all band members are from another state.

On March 20, 2008, Anywhere” was released. It has 1twelve tracks. Urbe magazine (the most important alternative newspaper in the country) placed Anywhere in the top five albums in Venezuela.

To support the release of Anywhere, Verona started a national tour which also included three acoustic live performances in California and Florida. A successful Stone Temple Pilots tribute in Caracas, sponsored by La Mega Radio Station, followed the tour.
