Greg Sage's outfit ultimately abandoned the more straightforward production of their earliest releases; in 1996, <i>Silver Sail</i> had affixed rockabilly delay to their guitar sound, with a Cramps-like dimension, sans the sleaze. But it's the wiry first album <i>Is This Real</i> that remains a punk/indie staple. - Kelly BaumanPost-Punken720Wed, 30 Dec 2009 06:51:03 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6310&rws=%2Fwipers%2Fmusic-videos.rss Influential Pacific Northwest act the Wipers may not have exactly reinvented the wheel, but there has always been enough meat and potatoes guitar/bass/drums squelching through a punk interpretation of the Doors' "Light My Fire" to keep the punters sated.
