Wipers

Wipers were certainly the most overlooked and influencial band coming out of Portland in the early 80's.

Just listen to Potential Suicide and realise how much Kurt Cobain revered Greg Sage's outfit. (Later, Nirvana would cover D7 and Return of the rat).
Listening to Is this real? and Over the edge 30 years later is a real slap to the head.
