| Album notes | |
| This CD contains contains 16 tracks chroncling the 10 year history of this influential Pacific Northwest band. It features all 5 Restless studio releases as well as Greg Sage's solo album, plus rare early album tracks. The Wipers emerged from late-1970s Portland, Oregon, as one of America's first great punk bands, inspiring both the first U.S. punk wave and the subsequent punk-influenced grunge movement (they were even covered by Nirvana). The only thing is, as this collection makes clear, they weren't strictly a punk band. Frontman Greg Sage was something of a guitar hero (a very un-punk thing to be), and you can hear his distortion-laden journeys unfurl throughout these songs. Also, there was more melodic/dynamic sophistication underlying the melancholy vibe, particularly apparent on the Sage solo cuts here. While the Wipers' influential first album is unrepresented, this disc captures some key moments from the '80s recordings of both the band and Sage on his own, and makes for an excellent second step once that first album has been fully appreciated. | |
