Greg Sage was the principal songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist for the influential Portland, Oregon-based punk rock band Wipers.

Greg Sage's first appearance was on pro-wrestler Beauregarde's full length album.

Sage's dark lyrics were rife with references to confusion and severe alienation. His songs took unexpected turns and were typified by fractured melodic passages punctuated by massive, clean, intricate guitar parts.

Sage operates his own label, Zeno Records (based in Phoenix, Arizona) and has also recorded several albums as a solo musician. He also builds his own music equipment and built his own studio.

Despite being right-handed, Greg Sage plays a left-handed guitar. His instruments of choice are Gibson SGs.

In an interview Greg Sage said this about Kurt Cobain: [cite web|url=http://www.smokebox.net/archives/interviews/sage801.html| title=interview with greg sage | author=Marc Covert | accessdate=2007-05-03| date=2003| publisher=Smokebox.net]
