Many of us know the Wipers simply because Nirvana played a mean rendition of their classic "D-7". I got this CD from a friend of mine who I used to be in a Nirvana cover band with back in the mid-90's. Everytime I listen to it, I flash back to that carefree time of loud amps, banged up drums and wreckless behavior (as wreckless as a 15 year old can get). My favorite tracks still have to be "Upfront", "Return Of The Rat" and "Window Shop For Love". Greg Sage was a fixture in the Portland music scene and the Wipers proved to be quite a prolific act. Most of their original records are hard to find, although Is This Real? happened to be re-released by Sub Pop in 1993. If anyone else has some of their other records, feel free to comment or message me.
