Airwaves is an album released by Badfinger in 1979 on the Elektra label. Anticipated as a comeback album for the group at the time, expectations were not quite realized.
Following the death of group founder Pete Ham in 1975, Badfinger disbanded, and the remaining members joined various other groups or had dropped out of music for the next two years. At the behest of Chicago musicians Joe Tansin and Kenny Harck, the then-unemployed Joey Molland formed a new group with the duo in Los Angeles. Molland later enticed his fellow former Badfinger member Tom Evans to also join the unnamed band.
After shopping demonstration records around in the L.A. area, the band discovered they would have more marketing power if they revived the Badfinger moniker. Although the name helped the group open doors to potential record labels, it also caused an inequality and friction between old and new Badfinger members within the band. As recordings commenced for the album, Harck was released by the band. Former Badfinger drummer Mike Gibbins auditioned for the group but was not hired, and Andy Newmark was finally brought in for the drum tracks. Tansin quit the group immediately upon the album's completion.
