5.0 classicdidnt ask to be staff, was made staff anyway, then got demoted for not doing staff stuff | March 2nd 21

So Wipers all of a sudden come through with something that'll go on to define not only the more immediate side of post-punk, but also a lot of subsequent noise rock tendencies and in some respects even post-rock (like tell me that the t/t isn't a proto-post-rock or math rock cut).

4.0 excellentfog | December 21st 21

Has a bit of desperate, scuffed up sound. Conversely, it's also cold, remote and difficult. The music of running to bomb shelters and experiencing aftermaths with equal dispassion.

Bump

4.5 superbWhatAreTheTodds | September 25th 15

Prob the best driving music I've ever laid my ears on. This has attitude, energy and is insanely well- thought out oh my god BEST POST PUNK??????

Bump

3.5 greatnoisymugwump | January 12th 10

Interesting songwriting and a highly intense style, but perhaps too emotional/sissy at times. I particularly dig the noisy/psych-ish elements of their sound, and the vocals are very fitting.
