Biography
Wipers were an American punk rock band formed in Portland, Oregon, in 1977 by guitarist and vocalist Greg Sage, along with drummer Sam Henry and bassist Dave Koupal. Initially starting as a straight punk band, on their early releases Better off Dead, Is This Real? and Alien Boy, the band would later pivot to more Post-punk influenced stylings on their second and third albums, Youth of America, and Over the Edge. The group's tight song structure and use of heavy distortion were hailed as extremely influential by numerous critics and musicians. In particular, Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, and J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. both praised Sage's guitar work and cited him as an influence. They are also considered to be the first Pacific Northwest punk band, and are today hailed as seminal for the scene.
