History

Wireless was formed in 1976 by bassist Allan Marshall, guitarist Steve McMurray and drummer Glenn Beatson, who had played together in an Australian pop music band, Autumn.[1][2] They released a self-titled album on the Atlantic label which included some original songs.[3]

The band soon signed with WEA Music.[4]

The band's album Positively Human Relatively Sane did not sell well; the next album, No Static, was produced by Geddy Lee. The albums were later remastered and released by Rock Candy Records.[5]
