Getting ready to start 2027 with a bang, Winona Fighter have announced that they’ll be kicking off next year by releasing their eagerly-awaited second album Brutal & Extremely Underrated on January 22.
Having spent much of the past two years on the road, the Nashville alt.rockers say they’ve grown into themselves this time around.
“I fucking love this record and I love that I got to make it, once again, DIY in a garage with my two favourite people,” says singer Coco Kinnon. “I especially love that we get to give our fans and new listeners something real in a world of slop.
“We went into this record with a little bit more knowledge and confidence,” she continues. “There’s more swagger, and we had bigger goals for ourselves.”
“I think we as a band gelled more than we ever have and made space for each other while still elevating each song,” adds guitarist Dan Fuson. ”The goal of serving each tune was always in mind and we hit the fricking bullseye.”
Concludes bassist Austin Luther: “In true Winona Fighter fashion, we put our blood, sweat, and tears into the making of this record. Our goal was to evolve as a band while still delivering the hard hitting and melodic songs we love to make. Please enjoy at full volume.”
As a first offering, the band have dropped the video for new banger Leech.
