Wipers were a punk rock group formed in Portland, Oregon in 1977 formed by guitarist/songwriter Greg Sage. The groups tight song structure and use of heavy distortion were hailed as very influential by many critics and musicians alike.

Land of the Lost is the bands fourth studio album. It was very well received, with Maximum Rocknroll praising the title track for being heavier and riffier than the band had ever sounded before. Spin Alternative Record Guide called the album the most definitive Wipers record for sound and songwriting
