High-energy performative punk-rock from Toronto four-piece Wine Lips brings a compulsive and provocative taster from their upcoming album TV Dinner.
Featuring indie-rock guitar lines both distorted and fast-changing, an opening riff that’s quickly recognisable, and passionate female vocals at the forefront, Projector feels like a nostalgic punk-rock confrontation in its rebellious set-up and self-confidence. The track begins with a clear vibrancy and weight, and continues to build upon that as the progression rolls through – concluding at a notably brief one-minute-thirty; something that will leave the punk fans likely to hit play or stream the rest of their catalogue pretty quickly.
A scornful take on the people who project their insecurities on those around them, the garage punk essence of Projector is met perfectly by the unrelenting and largely therapeutic process of performing and, in turn, listening to this track at volume. It’s a bold introduction, and the band are clearly holding down the fort for this style right now – the album is must hear for the months ahead.
