Winona Fighter will release their debut album, My Apologies To The Chef, on February 14, 2025. In celebration of the news, they’ve released a brand new single called “Attention,” which can be streamed below. Speaking on the track, vocalist Coco Kinno has shared:
“It is our most political song to date, but not in a super black and white way. It’s about the issues I personally find important. It’s about watching the rise in methamphetamine usage and fentanyl poisoning while growing up in New Hampshire. It’s about having to pay out of pocket for life changing or life SAVING medications and women getting denied coverage for birth control that won’t completely wreck their hormones. It’s about shelters consistently being at capacity while puppy mills are still unethically producing millions of dogs a year. I hope listeners hear this song and get passionate about something. I think we’re all a little pressured to feel like we have to change the world and be vocal about every cause ever, but if we all focus on something we genuinely care about then those small steps will make a world of difference.”
On the release of the band’s debut album, Kinno explains:
“I couldn’t think of a better introduction to the band. 14 hard hitting tracks straight from a guest bedroom or garage. It’s raw. It’s got emotion. It’s got a little satire. Mostly, it’s uniquely us. It’s three punks obsessed with music, making tunes for people obsessed with music. It is a punk-rock record, period. We are so proud of this album and we hope fans old and new love it as much as we do. To finish this off we’d like to thank our ENTIRE team for believing in us and helping us create something incredibly special. All we ever said when we were grinding with no one on our side was ‘we just need ONE person to believe in us’ and now we have all of you… so thank you for allowing us to create, play, and live our dream! 2025 here we come.”
