'''Wired All Wrong''' was a [[nu metal]] band formed by musician/producers [[Matt Mahaffey]] of [[Self (band)|Self]] and [[Jeff Turzo]] previously of [[God Lives Underwater]]. The two have been longtime friends since a mix-up of their bands on [[MTV]]. Partly due to the unfortunate deaths of [[David Reilly (singer)|David Reilly]] from GLU and [[Mike Mahaffey]] from Self, Matt and Jeff were able to shift their attention away from their other bands.<ref>[http://www.nitrusrecords.com/artist_waw.html Nitrus Records mini bio]</ref> Their debut studio album, ''[[Break out the Battle Tapes]]'', came out on September 12, 2006.

==Break out the Battle Tapes==
Wired All Wrong released their only studio album ''[[Break out the Battle Tapes]]'', on September 12, 2006 which features the singles "Lost Angeles," "Nothing at All" and "Elevatin". The song "You're Freakin' Me out Girl" features rapper [[Count Bass D]].

The band went on tour in the fall of 2006 to promote the album. A notable performance was at [[LA Weekly]]'s [[Detour Festival]].

The band had a contest for their fans to make the [[music video]] for "Nothing at All."

==Live performances==
Wired All Wrong had been described as functioning similar to [[God Lives Underwater]], Turzo's former band, in the sense that the two founding members, Turzo and Mahaffey, write, record and produce all the music then perform it live alongside a full band. Their on-stage presence is that of an over-the-top, garage-band-esque, heavy metal sound accented by Mahaffey's light-hearted stage antics.

Wired All Wrong performed and recorded a remix of their hit song "Lost Angeles" live at radio station [[Indie 103]]. An mp3 of what has been dubbed the "Super Funky Fresh Mix" of the song was available on the band's MySpace.com page in a blog from September 25, 2006.

==Producers==
The duo produced for the band [[Hellogoodbye]] on their debut album ''[[Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!]]''.<ref>[http://www.purevolume.com/wiredallwrong Purevolume biography]</ref> They also produced 4 tracks for the band [[Forever the Sickest Kids]] on their debut album ''[[Underdog Alma Mater]]''. They produced two tracks on [[The Sounds]]' third album ''[[Crossing the Rubicon (The Sounds album)|Crossing the Rubicon]]'' as well as the entire 2008 album ''[[Walk This Way (album)|Walk This Way]]'' by [[The White Tie Affair]].
