#TheWipers are probably the greatest band of all time.

Hey book / library nerds (complimentary) of a certain age (in elementary school in the mid-80s). Did you also watch Tomes & Talismans series in school?
It's funny to me that the bad-guys were called #TheWipers. As a teen when I found out about the band of the same name, I assumed that's where they got it, but the band is older than the series. Is it possible that an educational video series creator used a name from a Portland punk band?

Going to see #Bratmobile tonight (as a pre-birthday treat), and, whoops, I’m wearing a #TheWipers shirt. 🙃
WIPERS AND GREG SAGE
The Best Of Wipers And Greg Sage
1990 U.S. pressing
What a score today!
A great collection of everything you’d want from The Wipers!
“Better Off Dead” is a song that I’ve covered in every single band I’ve ever been in since I was 16, as well as a solo performer.
Greg Sage is one hell of a songwriter, and lucky for us, still roaming the Earth at age 72.

Five great songs about feeling disillusioned, jaded, empty, cynical.

@historyofpunkrock damn, I thought all day about this question 😅 I think it‘s #EA80 one of Germany’s oldest #punk / #postpunk bands (still active). Loved their music as teenager, still like them a lot. Alongside #Joydivision, #HüskerDü and #TheWipers the style of this band has shaped my taste of music a lot.
