THE WIPERS: Is This Real? Vinyl LP
$59.92 AUD
Is This Real? is the monumental 1980 debut LP from Portland, Oregon's highly influential punk rock band, The Wipers. Featuring guitarist/vocalist Greg Sage, this album is a foundational blueprint for underground rock, famous for its intense, abrasive sound, jittery guitar work, and deeply anxious, introspective lyrics. Often cited by Kurt Cobain as one of Nirvana's most significant influences (who famously covered two of its tracks), this LP—often reissued from the original master tapes on audiophile-grade vinyl—captures the raw desperation and melodic sophistication that pushed the boundaries of early punk.
