Episode 22: Wipers

This week we talk about the highly underrated Wipers from Portland, OR. Singer/guitarist and primary songwriter Greg Sage churned out some of the most inventive, psychedelic, and musical punk ever written, yet the Wipers are mostly known as that band that Nirvana covered a bunch. It's criminal. They released some spectacular albums in the early 80s. Then the 90s came and that's where Mike and Alex become enemies, once again disagreeing entirely. Closing track: "Wait a Minute" from Is This Real?
