Source-derived summary

Wanda is an Austrian indie pop band founded in Vienna in 2012.

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.

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.

The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2012, 2014, 2015—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2012. The account is most persuasive where Wanda, band and Austrian can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as austrian indie pop band. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 17, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q18632647. VIAF identifies the subject as 311736517. 2 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 2 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2012, 2014 and 2015.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
