Two drummers. One conversation. Then they play.
Drummer Adam Nimmo goes deep with the people behind the kit of bands like Broken Social Scene, American Football, Snarky Puppy, Tegan and Sara, Arkells, The Trews, Sam Roberts Band, Tokyo Police Club, The Dirty Nil, Cloud Nothings, The Reklaws, The Flatliners, Moneen, Dwayne Gretzky, and more.
Aurora Evans co-founded Wine Lips in Toronto in 2015 and has been the engine behind the garage-psych four-piece ever since — five albums deep now, from the 2017 self-titled debut to TV Dinner, out this week on Stomp Records. She plays fast, loose and full-tilt, the kind of drummer who can make a ninety-second song feel like it's about to fly apart yet never does.
On TV Dinner's lead single "Projector," she steps out front for her first lead vocal, too.Aurora and Adam get into how she keeps a steady backbone under Wine Lips' intensity, how song parts keep evolving a hundred shows later, and her uniquely personal influences.
Also: pulling from psych-rock heroes like King Gizzard and the Oh Sees, why some songs are done and dusted at a minute and a half — "don't overthink it" — and the new record they just wrapped in-studio.

Zack Mykula | PUP
**If you only have 3 minutes, skip to around 8:13 to hear our biggest banger to date - double drums with Zack to the full track of Reservoir.**
Zack Mykula co-founded PUP with his high-school friends in Toronto in 2010 and has been behind the kit for every record since — from the breakout The Dream Is Over to 2025's Who Will Look After the Dogs? He plays with a kind of controlled chaos that makes a punk song sound like it's about to come apart, and never quite does.Zack and Adam get into why playing along to your own record feels like molasses next to a live tempo, how PUP starts a song with no count-in at all, and the ADHD-shaped writing process behind rhythmic motifs that evolve across a song. Also: what happens when you meet your heroes and they turn out to be lovely, holding a band together since high school on what Zack calls unconditional understanding, and the night in Vienna he played a ninety-minute set with food poisoning. Also big shout-out to our new partnership with @sennheiser (https://www.youtube.com/@sennheiser)thanks for supporting the show!

Justin Peroff | Broken Social Scene
Justin Peroff is a founding member of Broken Social Scene, the ever-expanding Toronto indie-rock collective — and beyond the kit he's worked as a film and TV composer.This one's a 20-year reunion: Justin and Adam have been double-drumming together since the beginning. They get into the discipline of knowing when to dial the flash back, the near-telepathic pocket Justin shares with Kevin Drew, how a Social Scene song can start from a single repeating beat (credit a Nilufer Yanya rabbit hole) or a 35-minute jam, and the new record on the way.
