WINGTIPS, Ronnie Stone

All ages

WINGTIPS are a Midwest-based electro pop duo consisting of Vincent

Segretario and Hannah Avalon. The band’s sonics are best described as an

androgynous sound of transition. Interpolating darkly shimmering layers of

angular guitar and pulsating darkwave beats, WINGTIPS sharpen their anthemic

rush with an increasing penchant for melody and an atmosphere equally

informed by post-punk as sweeping electronica.

Their debut full-length, EXPOSURE THERAPY released in 2019, is a

contextualization of new romantic for post-millennial end times, and a refreshing

mix of synthpop and darkwave with hooks so compelling they are cinematic in

scope. In September 2021, WINGTIPS released their sophomore LP, CUTTING

ROOM FLOOR. The record is a momentous shift from a previous stylistically

darkwave approach into a realm of maximalist dark pop, and even techno body

music, while also maintaining many of the sonic textures from whence the band

came.

In 2024, WINGTIPS will release their third full-length record, ON TRIAL. Featuring

collaborations with the likes of TIM CAPPELLO (The Lost Boys, Tina Turner

Band), and the cutting edge New York-based RONNIE STONE, the album is yet

another evolutionary shift for the band into an even more advanced musical

identity. Tonally, the dichotomy between tracks marks the furthered maturity of

WINGTIPS’ approach to their unique blend of dark dance music, and texturally

lush dream pop. The album also marks the first release where the entirety of

recording, mixing, and post-production was completed by the band themselves,

maintaining a core ethos that DIY is key to precisely communicating artistic

language.
