the WANDAS are an American rock band based out of Boston Massachusetts composed of Keith McEachern, Brent Battey, Ross Lucivero, William Bierce and Greg Settino. New Interface (a design with friends for the future) is the band's follow up to their critically acclaimed self-titled record The Wandas (album). New Interface (a design with friends for the future), released June 25, 2013, was produced by Joel Ford of Ford & Lopatin and mixed by Patrick Krief of The Dears. The Boston Globe stated "The Wandas 'New Interface (A Design with Friends for the Future),' is experimentation done right, as the band's more artistic forays add depth and intrigue to the sound without sacrificing the band's core of solid song craft.〔http://www.boston.com/blogs/ae/music/boston-by-beat/2013/06/wandas_stretch_out_on_new_albu.html〕 Their self-titled album was released on August 30, 2011.
