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.

Their debut album took them across North America, followed immediately by an intensive and unexpected tour of Hong Kong and China in 2018. They released their massive Stressor album the very next year (2019) to rave reviews and massive critical acclaim. Multiple tracks from Stressor charted across North American and European radio, while several songs ended up being featured in broadcast and Netflix series.

Endless touring ensued.

Then 2020 happened.

The band used their mandatory downtime to fully dedicate themselves to crafting their groundbreaking third full-length Mushroom Death Sex Bummer Party (recorded by Simon Larochette at The Sugar Shack). The record was released in October 2021 and then shit really hit the fan. The international music press lost their collective minds, penning over 250 glowing features and super positive reviews spanning 35+ countries.

At the time of writing, the album blew past 40 million streams on Spotify alone. The vinyl release of Mushroom Death Sex Bummer Party is currently in its seventh pressing with nine different colour variants. The lead track Eyes has been licensed to a metric ton of films, series and video games, including ABC’s The Rookie, Hockey Night in Canada and Population 11.

Even more endless touring ensued, except this time the venues were huge and mostly sold out.

The 2024 follow-up album Super Mega Ultra was an absolute beast. Recorded by Simon Larochette at The Sugar Shack in Ontario, the album packed 12 ramped-up supersonic ear-scorching auditory delicacies and racked up millions of plays.
