WINGTIPS is an American duo that glides through the realms of post-punk and synth-pop, blending the shadows of gothic allure with the pulse of danceable beats. Originating from Chicago, the band was formed by Vincent Segretario in 2014 as a solo project, but soon blossomed into a collaborative effort when Hannah Avalon joined forces, bringing an additional richness to the sonic landscape they were cultivating. Their sound is characterized by layers of shimmering synths, driving bass lines, and emotive vocals, creating a nostalgic yet fresh atmosphere that resonates with listeners who have a penchant for the moody echoes of the '80s and the innovative edge of today's underground music scene.

WINGTIPS surged onto the music scene with their debut album, "Exposure Therapy," in 2019, a collection that showcases their adeptness at weaving tales of introspection and the human experience through their darkly melodic tracks. The following years saw them not only expand their discography with singles like "Cross the Line" and "Run for Shelter" but also engage in a dialogue with their peers through a series of well-received remixes. Their REMIXES compilation features reinterpretations of their work by artists such as Kris Baha, Provoker, Twin Tribes, and TRAITRS, demonstrating WINGTIPS' impressive reach and influence within the subcultural music landscape. With each release, WINGTIPS reinforces their status as torchbearers of a genre that pays homage to its roots while daringly pushing forward into new territories.
