About According to Wendy

In the summer of 2005, According to Wendy set out to spread the sound of "dirty reggae" throughout New York City. The songs ranged from rootsy reggae and ska to driving rock with pounding rhythms, but one thing was common throughout each song, and that was a catchy hook and melody.

The music took on many forms over the next year, finally being molded into the current sound, a mix of rock, reggae, ska, funk, blues, country and soul. Currently playing clubs in NYC and the surrounding area, the band is also in the midst of recording updated versions of the songs.
