Wine Lips “Super Mega Ultra”

Wine Lips “Super Mega Ultra” 2024. Stomp Records. Limited edition “Green UFO Swirl” variant. We picked up the Canadian garage psych-punks latest release at their Cactus Club show last week. What a night!!! Wacked-out noise rockers Mr. Phylzzz opened with a truly insane set and then Wine Lips tore the roof with their highly danceable, head-banging hypnotic psychotic brand of garage punk.
Super Mega Ultra is the band’s third LP and it’s as wild as their shows (we first caught the band when they opened a year or two ago for Frankie and the Witch Fingers at the Miramar here in Milwaukee). I know for sure they played “Stimulation” which is on this record — I made extra note of it as it totally reminded me of Milwaukee’s late, great stoner punks Slow Walker – the best bass line and wildly ass-shaking. (Slow Walker bassist Sam Reitman was at the Wine Lips show, too). One of my top tracks for sure! Other faves include “Killjoy,” the very punk “Six Pack” (pretty sure they played that one, too) that heavily features drummer Aurora Evans on vocals and another Slow Walker-esque grooving banger, the instrumental “Lemon Party.”
Daily (maybe) pulls from the vault: 33-1/3, 45, 78, old, older, classic, new, good, bad. Subjective. Autobiographical. Occasionally putting a record up for sale.
