Nashville punks Winona Fighter have announced their sophomore album, Brutal & Extremely Underrated, set for release on January 22nd, 2027, via Rise Records. They’ve also confirmed a US headlining tour and released the second single, “LEECH.” The album marks the CoSign alums’ follow-up to their excellent debut, My Apologies to the Chef. The upcoming album shifts in focus from looking inward to directly addressing and reacting to the “unignorable state of the world,” according to a press release.
The moody “LEECH” was written after Coco Kinnon read online comments about their first record. Describing her reaction to the negativity, she sings, “Lately lately I’ve been thinkin lately/ Everything is starting to change/ Hate me hate me everybody hates me/ Thinkin that my head is to blame.”
