Fresh off a massive 2025 that included the release of their debut album, rising punk group Winona Fighter is back with their first new music of 2026. The band – known for their aggressive and outspoken style – is unafraid of confrontation in their explosive new single ‘Bombs Away’, out now via Rise Records. On the new track, front woman Coco Kinnon shares: “Everybody needs a song right now.”
‘Bombs Away’ serves as a follow up to Winona Fighter’s critically acclaimed debut album ‘My Apologies To The Chef’. The band expanded on the record with a deluxe edition last fall, which featured acoustic versions of every song from the original record as well as covers of Beastie Boys’ ‘Sabotage’ and Violent Femmes’ ‘Blister In The Sun’, and new song ‘(Don’t Get) Close’.
Winona Fighter will be performing at Welcome To Rockville later today, and fans can catch them on tour this summer with the idobi Radio Summer School Tour. The month-long tour, which features Honey Revenge, South Arcade, Games We Play and Chase Petra, kicks off on June 19th. Winona Fighter will also return to Vans Warped Tour this year at the Long Beach and Mexico City dates. For a full list of upcoming shows, please see below.
Despite the strength in these songs’ delivery, underlying them all is a raw vulnerability. It’s the band’s ability to overcome that, and the adversity that inspired it in the first place, that makes this album truly special.
