Winona Fighter have shared their latest single R U Famous accompanied by an official music video. The single lands as the punk rock band prepare to release their debut album.
New track R U Famous takes aim at social climbers and hangers-on. As Winona Fighter frontwoman Coco Kinnon explains, “R U Famous is about someone who always tries to see what they can get out of people doing well in their music career. I think the term is called a “starfucker” but I don’t think you can say that in an article haha! But that’s seriously what it’s about. It’s a situation I think unfortunately happens to a lot of up-and-comers, and something that has happened to us via a person we thought was a friend.”
On the accompanying video she added, “We’ve always said ‘if we REALLY start leaning into a Y2K aesthetic then that’s how you’ll know we’re just going for a money grab.’ So what better way to represent a slimy person than to be that money grab! We’re All Gonna Die productions did an amazing job at really bringing our Tony Hawk Pro Skater aesthetic to life. We had so much fun being a couple of Y2K bros for the day but I’m okay never wearing low-rise pants ever again…. like ever.”
Winona Fighter will release their debut album My Apologies To The Chef on 14 February 2025. The album features the previously release singles Attention, Swear To God That I’m (Fine), and I’m In The Market To Please No One.
Following the album’s release the Nashville band will head over to the UK in May for sets at Slam Dunk.
