Biography
The Wanteds is a Group composed of four lads from the Industrial city of Franca – São Paulo, in Brazil. It was formed in 1998 by four inspired young musicians who wanted to produce a style of music already known and worshiped in the four corners of the world.
   This unique style of the 60s, which was born in the city of Liverpool and later spread through the industrial cities of the region, still enchants people without age limit, without prejudice of classes and satisfies all the tastes, for its simplicity, joy and even romanticism 50 years later.
    In this way, this unique style has turned into a classic and listening to The Wanteds, we can see how this group delicately gave continuity to that tradition. The band brings the music of the 60s and 70s to the new millennium in a renewed way. It is surely the sound that good old rock n 'roll lovers have been waiting for.
The band was formed by Tiago Viotto and Eduardo de Paula e Silva, in April 1998.
They've been playing  together since 1996 and have always wanted to put together a band like The Wanteds. This Band, would be true to the classic pop and rock style of the 60s and 70s, introducing this style into their own compositions. The drummer, Anderson Garcia, joined the band at the same time in 1998, and in the next two years, several other musicians came and went into the band’s line up.  But some of them left, or were replaced or fired, due to musical differences in style and purpose.
This constant change in personnel  happened due to the incompatibility with the style of music worked on by the band, and only in 2000, the band was completed with the entrance of Alexandre Rossi.  But since 1998, the nucleus of Tiago Viotto, Eduardo Silva and Anderson Garcia, remains intact. Since then, The Wanteds has been playing constantly in their hometown,  several other towns  in the region of Ribeirão Preto (Black Stream) and throughout the interior of the State of São Paulo and Minas Gerais and still in the great metropolis that is the city of São Paulo (Saint Paul City).
    The Band regularly performs at Nightclubs, Theaters, Bars, Pubs, Ballrooms, Arenas,  and Music Festivals! The band's fame has reached what is today much due to awards such as the Best Beatles Cover Band, in a Beatles Cover Bands Festival Contest held back in 2001 and 2002, in Ribeirão Preto,  and the fidelity to the style of the pop and rock classics of the 60's and 70's !
    In June 2003, their first Album, called 'I Can't Complain' was released, containing fourteen original compositions all written by Tiago Viotto, who is the chief songwriter in the band. Several local companies and one of the Universities of the city (Unifran)  have always supported them during their walk. With all this history and work, with support and planning, The Wanteds now hopes to invest in the international career.


    In September 2006 was released the second album (CD) "Anthem Of A Dream".
    In July 2008 was released the Video Clip of the track "Nothing Is Real" which was shown and broadcasted on National  MTV.
    In April 2012 was released the third and current album "Cold Magic Tales"
    In May 2020 the Wanteds released their fourth and new album “Ceremony”
    The Wanteds is now promoting their latest work and is currently writing and arranging  material for their next album!
    The band has got now four albums on CD, containing only their own original songs, all of it  released in the Independent market, through the group’s own label, Orange Records.
