"Wine Lips Gear Up for 'Super Mega Ultra': A New Chapter in Psych Garage Punk"

(Artist Report)

Written by: Jake Beach  


Wine Lips has had a remarkable journey since their inception, and it's been nothing short of a roller coaster ride. The band originated in Toronto in 2015, starting as a part-time endeavor between Cam Hilborn, who takes on vocals, songwriting, and guitar duties, and the exceptionally talented drummer Aurora Evans. What began as a casual musical project quickly evolved into a dynamic and full-fledged international sensation.

Their debut album marked the beginning of an exciting chapter, propelling the band across North America and, unexpectedly, leading them on an intensive tour of Hong Kong and China in 2018. This international exposure helped them build a dedicated fanbase and solidified their reputation as a must-see live act. The following year, in 2019, the band released their critically acclaimed album "Stressor." The release was met with rave reviews from music critics across the board, and several tracks from the album experienced impressive chart success on both North American and European radio. A few standout songs even found their way into popular broadcasts and Netflix original series, further elevating the band's profile and popularity. This success led to relentless touring, as they shared their music with enthusiastic audiences everywhere they went.

However, the momentum came to a sudden halt in 2020 due to the global pandemic. Many artists faced significant challenges during this unprecedented time, but Wine Lips turned adversity into opportunity. Embracing their downtime, they focused their creative energy on their third full-length album, "Mushroom Death Sex Bummer Party," which was recorded with the talented Simon Larochette at The Sugar Shack studio. Released in October 2021, the album was a game-changer for the band. They generated an incredible response from the international music press, receiving over 250 glowing features and positive reviews spanning more than 35 countries. At the time of this report, "Mushroom Death Sex Bummer Party" has surpassed a staggering 20 million streams on Spotify alone. The demand for the vinyl release has been remarkable, now in its seventh pressing with nine captivating color variants. The lead track, "Eyes," found significant success, being licensed for numerous films, series, and video games, including notable features on ABC’s "The Rookie," "Hockey Night In Canada," and even in "Population 11." Again, they entered a phase of seemingly endless touring, but this time they found themselves performing in larger venues, many of which were sold-out shows, reinforcing their position in the contemporary music scene.

Now, as they gear up for their next big project, the excitement around their new album, "Super Mega Ultra," is palpable. Once again recorded by Simon Larochette at The Sugar Shack in Ontario, this new release promises to be an absolute powerhouse. The album is filled with 12 tracks that deliver a blend of high-energy, ear-catching auditory experiences that showcase the band's evolution and maturity. "Super Mega Ultra" represents Wine Lips' most ambitious undertaking yet, as they delve into new thematic territories while maintaining their signature blend of psych garage punk rock flair that fans have come to love. Those who appreciate their music will undoubtedly find the new album to be an exhilarating addition to their discography.

And, as if fans needed more good news, the band has already planned more extensive touring for 2024. The wild ride for Wine Lips is far from over, and their journey continues to captivate audiences around the world. With each new release and tour, they solidify their status as a dynamic force in the music industry, and anticipation is building for what they will bring next.
