Wipers were a BIG influence on Kurt Cobain. Greg Sage, songwriter from the Portland band Wipers, said in an interview "I used to work in a movie theatre, and once in a while you’d see a film where the soundtrack and the video … all at once there’s this climax and it gives you goosebumps. I was thinking, Wow! If you could just do that on record. If you could build up that intensity, because you don’t have the video effect. I really thrive on trying to create a picture in one’s mind … get something to actually come out of the grooves." Well, we think he was successful! Wipers have been called "the missing link" between the Sonics and Nirvana in terms of PNW music history.
