So I've just come from listening to the wipers debut Is This Real ? for like the tenth time and love iteven more. In fact their first three records are all classics. The sound is thrashy but has a pop sense to it too.The band had a lot of diversity. I like how greg decided to be an individual and while hardcore's 1 and 1/2 minute songs were all the rage he comes out with a 10 minute anthem.Greg Sage is an excellent guitarist and songwriter. Let's give it up for him now.
Also What's Your favorite Wipers album? Mine's a tie between Is This Real and Over The Edge.

i don't own any of their albums, but my big bro did (until they got stolen) and i loved a bunch of the songs. "Window Shop for Love" is probably my favorite.

yea i really like that song too, really underrated. The melody and the lyrics are both good. "Could you send me a message without saying a word, touch me once with out being too observed, can u give me something without giving a thing, telepathic affair". Those are really heartfelt, poetic lyrics, his lyrical skill is not fully appreciated.
