Wipers

Emo
EmoHardcore punkPunk rock

Wipers is a Emo and Hardcore punk act. Their catalogue also touches Punk rock. Their sound grew out of Jimi Hendrix. Those roots explain a lot about how Wipers arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Wire, Minutemen, Fugazi, Buzzcocks and Firehose, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Thurston Moore, Electroretard and Middle Class, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 27 connections around Wipers, reaching back through Jimi Hendrix and forward to Nirvana. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
