The Wipers first album, Is This Real? , was issued in January 1980 on Park Avenue Records, a label that the band hoped would gain them wider distribution. It was originally recorded on a 4-track in the band’s rehearsal studio, but the label insisted that the band use a professional studio. Once released, the album gained a cult following , although the band was best known for their live shows around the Portland area. Later in 1980, Park Avenue released the Alien Boy EP, consisting of the title track and three demo outtakes.
