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. Their new album, Super Mega Ultra, is an absolute beast. Recorded by Simon Larochette at The Sugar Shack in Ontario, SMU is probably Wine Lips’ most ambitious undertaking to date, exploring new thematic territory while firmly maintaining their signature psych garage punk rock panache. You truly need to hear the album to believe it…

The focus track from SMU, “Stimulation,” has been a crowd favourite at shows for over a year already – fans have already been singing along to its simple and catchy chorus. 

“I started writing Stimulation during our break in 2020,” explains Cam Hilborn. “I might have put it on the shelf for a bit but one day the chorus just poured out of me and the rest of the song started to make more sense and came more naturally. It was the first song I demoed for the new record and it kind of became the benchmark.”

Writing an album while you’re always on tour is difficult, and for Hilborn, it felt like he was hitting a wall creatively. Despite the writer’s block, Hilborn was able to work with Simon Larochette to try some new ideas and capture the energy without straying too far from their roots. The result is Super Mega Ultra (April 5), their new LP which is jam-packed with 12 ramped-up supersonic ear-scorching auditory delicacies.
