Winona Fighter
Fronted by the electric Coco Kinnon, the Nashville based punk band is breathing new life into the resurgent punk scene, and they’re on a mission to create punk music that is accessible and accepting to all music lovers willing to listen.
Kinnon’s introduction to the Boston punk rock scene at an early age was the catalyst influence for her current sound and stage presence. Moving to Nashville gave her a task to expose all music lovers to the power of thrashable tunes. After recruiting lead guitarist Dan Fuson, they set off to do the scene Coco had left behind justice. Eventually the two of them addedAustinLuther(bass/producer) to the family.
The band is recognized as an energized powerhouse during their live performances. Their shows area space where all bullshit and ego is left at the door–everyone is welcome, equal and needs to get on their fucking feet. In recent times, they have opened for the bands Incubus, Motion City Soundtrack, Badflower, and Something Corporate, in addition to playing multiple sets at Bonnaroo 2023. Other recent performances includeIs For Lover’s Festivals and Shiprocked 2024.
Earlier this year Winona Fighter took SXSWby storm, followed by a full US tour with Bayside, Finch, and Armor For Sleep. The band also performed at this year’s ShakyKnees Music Festival. Fans can look forward to seeing Winona Fighter live in the coming months at Summerfest, 80/35 Music Festival, Oceans Calling Music Festival,South Star Music Festival, Louder Than Life, and Aftershock.
Fresh off of signing to Rise Records and the release of singles“I’m In The Market To Please No One”,“I Think You Should Leave”, “Johnny’s Dead”, and “HAMMS IN A GLASS”, fans can look forward to more new music this year. Stay tuned at winonafighter.com.
