Wipers: Youth Of America (Park Avenue)***½

THE WIPERS come from Seattle Washington, deep in the great American Northwest, home previously to the likes of The Sonics and Paul Revere and the Raiders. This being so, I expect a lot because those two groups contributed significantly to Sixties teen tornado music. I believe you can take the group out of the Northwest but you can't take the Northwest out of the group and, thankfully, this seems to be the case.
