The group's tight song structure and use of heavy distortion were hailed as extremely influential by numerous critics and musicians. They are also considered to be the first Pacific Northwest punk band. History Origins Sage's intense interest in music began with cutting records at home as an adolescent. Inspired by Jimi Hendrix, Sage soon picked up the guitar, and in 1969, at age 17, he played on an eponymous album by professional wrestler Beauregarde.

Silver Sail
''Silver Sail'' is the seventh studio album by punk rock band Wipers, released in 1993.

Production The album was written, produced and recorded by Sage at his Zeno Studios in Phoenix, Arizona. Steve Plouf returned to play drums. Critical reception ''Trouser Press'' wrote: "A more deliberate pace allows Sage’s virtuoso playing extra opportunity to bob and weave, float and tickle, tease and torment; he introduces hints of quiet surf music, spaghetti westerns and other lonely, timeless sounds." '' The Rough Guide to Rock'' deemed the album "a return to ''The Circles jazzy style of neo-psychedelic thrash." ''Rolling Stone ''Rolling Stone'' is an American monthly magazine that focuses on music, politics, and popular culture.

Greg Sage (born October 21, 1951) is an American songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist, regarded as an important influence on many punk rock and post-punk artists. Sage is best known as the principal songwriter and vocalist/guitarist of the influential Portland, Oregon-based band Wipers. Early years Greg Sage was born in Portland, Oregon, on October 21, 1951. His involvement with music began with cutting records at home as an adolescent, due to his father being involved in the broadcast industry. Sage’s first instrument was bass guitar, because of the low tones that made larger grooves in the vinyl records due to slower modulations. Basses were harder to find and much more expensive when Sage was in grade school, so he used guitar instead. Sage has been involved in music professionally since the age of 17, when he worked on a full-length album by the professional wrestler Beauregarde (''Beauregard'', 1971; re-released 2004). After several years of playing and recording guit ...
