[honeypower]

@2112christosk Flipper, Scratch Acid, Mudhoney, Loop

[hammishs]

@2112christosk i dont know if they were ever simular to others but i like bundle of hiss and mudhoney also a dead kennedys fang was also great but again wipers came out in a time when punk was still raw and they formed around it defining themselves as a completely different sound..if you like mudhoney also look for green river mark arm first band

[hammishs]

@2112christosk you can also try more traditional punk bands like johnny thunders and new york dolls the heartbreakers also are good

[TheEnchantingWizard1]

@2112christosk Check out Husker Du and Mission Of Burma.

[MrLetsdolunch]

Not a bad song, but I prefer modern music like Rhianna and Pink. That stuff really moves me.

[omgstfudavid]

@MrLetsdolunch Sarcasm is hard to detect on the internet. I hope to god you're joking.

[123defriisk]

@MrLetsdolunch I wonder what you were looking for on here ,this is a music site,not sweetie shite the type you obviously prefer...

[spruceshark]

when this song starts I get tears in my eyes almost everytime lol. Wipers!

[fysicsandpholds]

I was trapped in the worst thunderstorm of my life last night. It was 3 am and I had to get back to my apartment and pack for my flight at 6 am. The rain and wind was so bad I couldn't read the street signs. I stopped in a hotel lobby. Took off my shirt and shoes. Put this album on my ipod and repeat. And began what became a 2 hour odyssey over fences and through parking garages home. My iPod no longer works. Totally worth it

[nymetsrock]

@fysicsandpholds you stopped in a hotel lobby? ask them to call a cab

[fysicsandpholds]

@nymetsrock I had zero dollars to my name

[12inchvertical]

amazing

[JesusTittyFuck]

best goddamn album ever!!!!

[thedude9099]

they don t really sound like punk rock to me.

they sound more like post hardcore/ noise rock

[JustVinyl]

Wipers most powerful brilliant track.

Hang on for the ride :)

[mediattackrecords]

Learned to be one from the best of the best.

[CercleKoen]

The Wipers rule!!

[jailbaitvids]

calling the ghetto----- youth of america - you - you - you ! 

[alexissod]

greatest PUNK band ever.

[buggaboom12]

@alexissod yaaa. kinda making me wanna start my own

[hairpinturns]

one of the best songs of that era, totally underappreciated band

[FuckedUpWebcamShows]

Parts of the song sounds a bit like the song "L.A. Woman" by the Doors. I don't know if anyone else noticed.

[bloodcumulus]

Wipers' post-punk themes with punk rock riffs.

[KimInChains]

Beast mode!

[TheOnionPolice]

the wipers true pioneers in music.......

[Meropsapiasterr]

unearthly song! best of the best.

[fetosevenmasumkoylu]

this band inspired many young bands. they are awesome.

[kaosmuse]

Greg Sage, enough said, genious.

[RikkiX69]

I can see where Digital Leather gets their influence from. Shawn is a big Wipers fan!!!!

[dirtynuke]

I always find the melodies Greg sage comes up with very strange. The picture that comes to my mind is someone running through rail road tracks and stopping right before a train hits them. I would not compare the wipers to black flag, the minutemen, or any of those bands. They seem to possess a melodic beauty that is completely their own. It's like love you know.

[flopez49gmail]

omg exactly 69 thumbs up and no down

must ruin it.......no...its...so beautiful....graaawr so hard to not do it!!!

[iendacard]

Woah, Melvins totally covered this. Wipers are great. :)

[getawayanddontcomeba]

Soundtrack of our youth-long ago it was Zeppelin's "Dazed and Confused",later this

awesome piece of music rammed in our ears and minds.Are there similar breath-

taking songs,which express so much and reflect the times we are living?

[hellpepper666]

..Godfather of Punkrock...Thank you for this...- Das Lied könnte ich mir direkt auf die Stirn tättoowieren...

[irkedd]

these guys were genuine new guys are just imitating an earlier style championed by true dudes like the wipers, black flag, etc.

something urgent about the original "punk rock" like this.

there is a lack of sincerity, originality, or urgency like there is here.

I am a wipers fan like many others here each one of us needs to start our own personal revolution of human sincerity.

great art is forever and should always be an expression of truth, the wipers did that no matter how unnoticed they were.

[mfgodwin]

@irkedd I like that... "personal revolution of human sincerity." Well said. I have my own quiet commitment to sincerity, as well. But I've never been able to articulate it to myself with a phrase as perfect and poetic as the one you've provided here.

[irkedd]

@mfgodwin thanks much for the high praise, as far as a "personal revolution of human sincerity" is concerned I have tried to do just that on my own youtube podcasts by spilling my guts with as much sincerity as I can.

feel free to visit my channel and check them out as I am always looking for more viewers.

thanks.

[Meropsapiasterr]

i ja tego nie mam na moim mp3?

nał nał nał!

[motsion]
