Their debut album Amore was released in October 2014 at Problembär Records and debuted at number 13 on the Austrian Albums Chart on 31 October 2014. Their single "Bologna" (which features that Italian city) was released in early 2015 and peaked at number 42 on 10 April 2015. Wanda's first tour took place in late 2014, with a second tour in February 2015, with locations in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland (i.e. the German Sprachraum). On 2 October 2015 their second album Bussi was released. They made a deal with Universal Music Germany.[1]

Their indie pop style is influenced by rock 'n' roll, as well as Austropop (Austrian singer-songwriters). They label their music as "pop music with 'Amore'". Their songs are sung in German, with a noticeable Viennese accent.

In August of 2020 drummer Lukas Hasitschka left the band.[2] He was replaced by Valentin Wegscheider who was a founding member of the band, but left before major success.[3][4]

Keyboarder Christian Hummer died in September 26, 2022, after long and severe illness.[5]
