It’s been one hell of a wild ride for Wine Lips. Originally formed in Toronto back in 2015 as a part-time project between Cam Hilborn (vox, songwriter, guitar) and drummer extraordinaire Aurora Evans, Wine Lips quickly escalated into a full-blown, full-time, full-on international phenomenon. They’ve toured across the world, scored a handful of great licensing deals (ABC’s The Rookie, Hockey Night In Canada, Population 11) and are now readying the release of their fourth full-length album, Super Mega Ultra, on April 5th via Stomp Records. “Derailer,” the first single to be shared, is about the lengths people will go to to keep up an image or persona while sacrificing physical and mental health to get there. Pushing yourself to the edge until you feel like you’re going to “derail” off the tracks. Recorded by Simon Larochette at The Sugar Shack in Ontario, Super Mega Ultra is jam-packed with 12 ramped-up supersonic ear-scorching auditory delicacies. What may very well be Wine Lips’ most ambitious undertaking to date explores new thematic territory while firmly maintaining their signature psych garage punk rock panache.
