Winona Fighter have announced their sophomore album Brutal & Extremely Underrated, due for release on 22nd January 2027 via Rise Records.
“On this record I think we as a band gelled more than we ever have and made space for each other while still elevating each song,” says guitarist Dan Fuson. “The goal of serving each tune was always in mind and we hit the fricking bullseye.”
“I f***ing love this record and I love that I got to make it (once again) DIY in a garage with my two favorite people,” adds frontwoman Coco Kinnon. “I especially love that we get to give our fans and new listeners something real in a world of slop.”
“In true Winona Fighter fashion, we put our blood, sweat, and tears into the making of this record,” concludes bassist Austin Luther. “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.”
The band have also released a video for their new single LEECH.
