Cultural Facts:
- Studio Lore: Greg Sage originally recorded Is This Real? on a four-track machine in the band’s rehearsal space, but Park Avenue Records insisted that Wipers rerecord the album in a professional studio.
- Personal Struggle: Sage wanted Wipers to exist almost entirely through recordings, originally imagining 15 albums in ten years with no touring or promotion, but label demands repeatedly forced him to compromise that intensely private vision.
- Legacy: Kurt Cobain became a major Wipers admirer, listed Is This Real? among his favorite albums, and Nirvana later recorded versions of “D-7” and “Return of the Rat,” helping expose the Portland band to a new generation.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
