Wine Lips has been played on NTS in shows including Yesterday's News, featured first on 7 June 2024. Songs played include Derailer.

Toronto-based garage punk psych rockers Wine Lips took the stage for the first time in the fall of 2015. Initially, it was a part-time project between songwriter and guitar player Cam Hilborn and drummer Aurora Evans. The band started playing at clubs in Toronto and gradually expanded to surrounding cities and even ventured into Quebec. By mid-2017, it became evident that the band members were ready to commit full-time. Wine Lips released their self-titled debut LP on indie label Fried Records and embarked on their first tour, spanning five provinces and heading east to the Maritimes. They have since continued their journey without looking back.

In April 2018, a fortunate encounter led to a tour of Hong Kong and China, where enthusiastic audiences eagerly received them.

Never ones to let the dust settle, the band released their follow-up LP, "Stressor," in March 2019 and embarked on a relentless North American tour until early 2020. The release of "Stressor" along with an extensive tour schedule earned the band a devoted following and resulted in some album tracks being prominently featured on television and Netflix.

During most of their free time in 2020, the band dedicated themselves to writing and recording their phenomenal third full-length record, "Mushroom Death Sex Bummer Party," at The Sugar Shack in London, Ontario, with the assistance of Simon Larochette.

"The record is crazy! We really spent a lot of time getting the songs to sound exactly the way we wanted. I think this is the best stuff we've recorded, and I'm super stoked with the end result!" says Cam.

Wine Lips is composed of Cam Hilborn on guitar and vocals, Aurora Evans on drums, Jordan Sosensky on guitar, and Charlie Weare on bass.

"This new song is a garage-punk sugar rush." – Brooklyn Vegan

"It's pure adrenaline, it's noise, it's intense, it's refreshing, and it feels life-giving. The garage-psych band's new album is, for all intents and purposes, pretty fucking crazy." - Exclaim!

"The song—off the upcoming full-length Mushroom Death Sex Bummer Party—is double-time, turbo-snotty garage rock slimed in gloriously vintage reverb. And, if possible, the video is even greater—a testimony to the power of setting up in a room, turning on the cameras, and then having at ’er." – Georgia Strait
