Greg Sage has led The Wipers since he started the band in Portland, OR over 20 years ago. Now he’s in Phoenix and doin’ everything (but drumming) by himself.
They goe for a total physical reaction; to get listeners fired up and make them do karate kicks in their baggy pants. GGGarth produced, so this shit drops.
Upbeat, fun power pop that reminds me of The Figgs. Plenty of falsettos, ’70s rock-isms that sound like Elton John or the more rockin’ Billy Joel tunes.
This anniversary edition of The Vandals’ first record with the current line-up contains three bonus tracks and the out-of-print recording of “Shi’ite Punk.”
Like Celtic Frost did on Into the Pandemonium, Peccatum accomplish the same eerie vibe, throwing in some blasting black metal riffs to add to the confusion.
