The Wanted hit the blue carpet at 102.7 KIIS FM’s Wango Tango at The Home Depot Center on Saturday afternoon (May 12) in Carson, Calif.

The guys — Nathan Sykes, Max George, Jay McGuiness, Siva Kaneswaran and Tom Parker – stopped to chat with MTV about working on their new album.

“Well, you know, it’s going to be a new leaf for us because we’ve compiled all our three years of stuff into the EP, so now it’s a new, fresh start for us,” Jay shared. “The singles we started writing and recording, so far, we’re excited about. But it’s still gonna be parties for the Wanted. I think it’s gonna be a few surprises too.”

Siva added, “[It] could be collabs or it could be rapping. There’s not gonna be any rapping; I’m just kidding. But it is surprising for ourselves, too, because we are just going to try and be daring and try and step it up a bit, so hopefully the fans will like it.”
