Their second studio album, Electromagnetica, was mastered by Harris Newman (also known for his work with Wolf Parade and Arcade Fire) and features Dan Boeckner, who plays guitar on "This Burial Ground's For Two".

[2] Both musicians were big fans of the British alternative scene, listening to bands like Radiohead, The Smashing Pumpkins, Travis, Oasis and The Stone Roses.

[2] That summer, Stoica and Olaru left The Amsterdams due to musical divergences, and formed a new band, called The Guillotines.

During the following months, The Amsterdams struggled hard to find a new drummer, working with no less than thirteen people; eventually, they chose Alex Ghiță.

"Taking Care Of Anna" was played on a local radio station, 89FM,[4] while "Fireworks" was included on a compilation called The Next Dog Desert Island Selection, produced by Roadrunner Music.

[9] Following this release, The Amsterdams played at the Europa Vox Festival, in France and then went to London for a gig in the Dublin Castle Club.

[14] In summer 2008, the band was invited to several festivals, such as Peninsula,[15] B'Estfest[16] and Stufstock, this time on the main stage, with Apocalyptica and Air Traffic.

[4] At the end of February 2009, the band opened the series of live concerts broadcast on MTV Romania's official website, a project destined to promote local alternative music.

The release gig took place at The Silver Church Club in Bucharest, with Doru Trăscău (AB4, The Mono Jacks), Dan Olaru and Alex Ghiță (Rain District) as guests.

[4] Andrei Hațegan explained the title in an interview: We're still living in a musical adolescence, as we're not playing together for a long time, and the album tells the story of all these years.

It's like a lesson we have to learn while we're adolescents, for having a happy life afterwards...[22]The band also filmed and released a video for the first single, "Chased by the Housewives".

[24] The singer, Hațegan, explained this choice by stating "We chose to make a video for this song because we like it a lot, it has less than four minutes, so it can be aired on TV without any problems, and, least but not last, because we were forced to do so."

[26] In October, The Amsterdams and The Mono Jacks played as opening acts for the Canadian band Handsome Furs in Control Club, Bucharest.

[37] The release concert had Hot Casandra and Sophisticated Lemons performing as opening acts with Electric Brother (the producer of Electromagnetica) and Vlad Stoica as guests.

The gig was part of a multidisciplinary project called Zaragoza Latina, which was supposed to encourage the development of interest in Latin culture.

[42] The song has Roxana Niculae (We Singing Colors) on vocals and was recorded at The Great Below Studio, mixed by Paul Ballo and mastered by Cristian Varga.

[43] On October 8, The Amsterdams performed at Sala Polivalentă in Bucharest, with Electric Brother, Morcheeba and Parov Stelar Band.

[60] In September, the band played at Bucharest Days, in University Square,[61] and at Funk Rock Hotel, during a special edition which allowed the public to choose the line-up for the event.

[75] On October 30 2015, The Amsterdams released a new song, called „The Great Fire”, during a concert which took place at Bounce Club, in Bucharest.

On the 12th of April 2016 the band released their 4th full-length studio record, called „Eternity for Dummies” during a sold out concert in Control Club in Bucharest.
