<p>Wipers was a recording project formed in late 1978 by Greg Sage in Portland, Oregon. Originally planned as a studio project, their goal was to release fifteen LPs over ten years while avoiding tours and interviews. They disbanded in 1989 after releasing six studio albums but later reformed in 1993 to release three more albums. Finally disbanding for good in 1999.</p>

Simply obliterating any conception of THE WIPERS as a mere punk band, GREG SAGE released this follow-up to Is This Real? in 1981—a sophisticated, overwhelming response to the evil times marked by the turn of the decade. Broken into six long songs, Youth Of America is a much colder, harrowing experience than the teen angst of their debut. Vocally Sage comes off as sleep-deprived and forsaken, snarling not only at his own predicament but at the predicament of the entire world. Vinyl version mastered from the original tapes by SAGE, pressed on high quality vinyl, and packaged in sturdy, old-style heavy-duty jackets.
