Wireless was a rock group originating from Australia and Canada, active between 1976 and 1980. Their discography includes three studio albums: Wireless (1976), Positively Human Relatively Sane (1978), and No Static (1980).
History
The band Wireless came together in 1976, founded by bassist Allan Marshall, guitarist Steve McMurray, and drummer Glenn Beatson, all of whom had previously collaborated in the Australian pop ensemble Autumn. Their debut album, titled Wireless, was released through Atlantic Records and consisted of original compositions.
Subsequently, Wireless signed with WEA Music. Their sophomore release, Positively Human Relatively Sane, did not achieve significant commercial success. The third album, No Static, was produced by Geddy Lee from Rush, who also supported Wireless by joining them on multiple tours during the late 1970s. Later on, Rock Candy Records undertook the remastering and re-release of Wireless' complete catalog.
