Winona Fighter have announced their debut album My Apologies To The Chef, due for release on 14th February 2025 via Rise Records.
“We cannot believe we finally get to announce our debut LP My Apologies To The Chef is on the way,” says frontwoman and multi-instrumentalist Coco Kinnon. “This has truly been a long time coming. Our amazing label Rise Records allowed us to take our DIY approach to the recording of the album. Every song was either written or co-written by us. It was just me (Coco) and the boys (Dan and Austin) in our home studio from pre-production to sending it off for mastering.
“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.”
The band have also released a video for their new single ATTENTION.
“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,” adds Kinnon. “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.
“There is something a little jarring about a song like this coming out around a pretty important election. We challenge every U.S. citizen to not only vote in this coming presidential election but in your local elections as well, it’s a privilege we get to do so.”
