Following an exciting run on the idobi Radio Summer School Tour, Winona Fighter has dropped an instantly iconic new hit, “LEECH.” And this is just the beginning!
The new single will appear on their highly anticipated sophomore record Brutal & Extremely Underrated, due out on January 22, 2027 via Rise Records.
The trio is eager to kick off the new chapter with the thrilling new release. Guitarist Dan Fuson notes, “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. The goal of serving each tune was always in mind, and we hit the fricking bullseye.”
Lead vocalist Coco Kinnon also shares, “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. I especially love that we get to give our fans and new listeners something real in a world of slop.”
And bassist Austin Luther says, “In true Winona Fighter fashion, we put our blood, sweat, and tears into the making of this record. 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.”
Check out the new track below, and prepare to be blown away.
