Revered punk rockers from the Pacific Northwest, melding the furious rage and independent punk ethic with
a fondness for loud, long guitar workouts. Misunderstood, mistreated, underrated, and/or just plain unknown,
Greg Sage should be mentioned in the first breaths about trailblazing guitarists and U.S. independent music
of the '80s and '90s. Since forming his band, Wipers, in Portland, OR, in the late '70s,
Sage has been put through the ringer more than enough to justify his hermetic operating methods and attitude.
While most of his devout fans consider it a travesty that his name isn't as known as a contemporary like Bob Mould
or even an unabashed fan-boy turned legend like Kurt Cobain, Sage would likely
retort that it's not for the notoriety that he began making music.

Silver Sail proves that the stone-faced frontman with the long, string-bending fingers is still moving forward without ever departing from the formula. It not only picks up where Greg Sage's solo LP Sacrifice (For Love) left off, but it also revives a thread he dangled on solo LP Straight Ahead, the first half of Follow Blind, and the last three cuts on The Circle: A slower, prettier, spacier, moodier Sage emerges, and undertones produced by his magical playing separate him from all previously mining this field. The more deliberate pace gives Sage's virtuoso guitar skills even more opportunity to bob and weave, stab and stun, float and tickle, tease and torment. As usual, words are kept to the minimum, to-the-point ideas brought home by evocative textures, singular guitar-lead style, and that spooky, chagrined, warning voice...(AllMusic)
