– The “Music Express” devoted Wanda recently the cover story and wrote of “perhaps the last major Rock’n ‘ roll band of our generation “. The five Austrians is no way at present seems gone out.
Last week they were on the road in Germany, to present about in Dresden, Hamburg, Osnabrück and Berlin their new songs. Only one year after their acclaimed debut “Amore” is now the second panel “Bussi” appeared. Twelve titles there to hearing that sound utterly unmistakeable by Wanda.
“We did it, we did not develop thanks to God,” said singer Marco Michael Wanda Deutsche Presse-Agentur. It goes back to the “weighty issues,” the love, life, death, fear, longing. And musically is “Bussi” just a stone’s throw from the first album. No wonder, a lot of the new songs is already developed in parallel with the first album.
Review: Wanda came virtually out of nowhere. Named after the “Wild Wanda” (1947-2004), a dazzling and fearsome Viennese pimp, was founded in the band 2012 Design. Last October, then appeared “Amore”, the designated the “Rolling Stone” as “one of the best albums 2014″. At the center: Unconditional love, sexual fantasies with the cousin, longing for death and excesses. “When someone asks you what you do like, tell for Amore” from the song “Bologna” was a household phrase.
Whether the pressure is great to build on the success? “We feel very unencumbered. We put the greatest demands ourselves, and to a judgment we felt never instructed, “Marco Michael Wanda said. But it is not only the passionate music and self-confident, charismatic species that make up the success: Austrian music is hip. “By this had already other bands share ahead of us.” About Kreisky, The Nino from Vienna or storybook.
Picture Book (“Maschin”) is the second major success Viennese band that impressed this year with its unspent nature. Critics rolled over at the third album “Schick shock” with praise. The four boys ended up in Austria at the top of the charts and was in Germany a crowd favorite.
“We have Austrians bissl the Pop-complex, so I would call it. We dare now for the first time in years, bissl play with the pop gesture, “said storybook singer Maurice Ernst some time ago the dpa. “Wanda and storybook, there are the first bands that are simply to the fact that they had no problem with that, if they were commercially successful. It’s a giant step for Austrian bands. “
For decades, were Austrian artist has been neglected in the home, explains Marco Michael Wanda. “We had no record industry. We were ignored by the big radio stations. The fact that the industry has not looking, we were able to develop freely and were inferior to any trends. “
” There has grown up a young generation which has sought its own way, “says Tatjana Domany from Austrian Music Export Office. “The quality that has developed, is now concentrated outside.”
That made last week on the Reeperbahn Festival Hambuerger noticeable, where every musician from dozens of countries are guests. “Five years ago we were represented here with two or three bands. This year we are doing with eleven “says Domany. Flagship projects like storybook or Wanda would have directed attention towards Austria. Of which now also benefited other musicians – and the genre-crossing
Meanwhile, goes for the Wanda “Wanda Mania” (“Music Express”) on.. “The Austrian Durchstarter maintain their high level of intensity,” says the “Rolling Stone”. “Bussi” was not a whit less sweaty and mischievous than the debut “Amore”.
