Winona Fighter - “My Apologies to the Chef” (February 14, 2025)

Had not seen a thread for this band yet, but they are releasing single after single and they wail. “Swear to God that I’m (FINE)” is an absolute bop.

Track listing:
1. JUMPER CABLES
2. You Look Like a Drunk Phoebe Bridgers
3. Subaru
4. HAMMS IN A GLASS
5. TALK
6. Swimmer’s Ear
7. R U FAMOUS
8. I Think You Should Leave
9. I’M IN THE MARKET TO PLEASE NO ONE
10. ATTENTION
11. Wilbrn St Tvrn
12. Swear To God That I’m (FINE)
13. Johnny’s Dead
14. DON’T WALLOW

 

Love the new song “Attention”. Saw them at Oceans Calling a couple weeks back. They’ve become my new favorite band since first hearing them earlier this year. Glad to hear they’re finally putting out a full length record!

 

been obsessed with this song ever since they dropped it and looks like the full length is their last EP plus some new songs, either way, stoked to hear the rest!

edit: nvm 2 of the 5 songs on the EP aren't on the full length

 

album artwork :)

 

Just checked out this band for the first time and most of these songs are pretty fun. Wild seeing 9 songs out of 14 released two months before the release though lol

 

well yeah most of them are from their debut EP thats a couple years old, getting signed might have had in their contract to include those songs/re-record them

 

I’m pretty sure they just included the same versions of their existing songs, judging by the version of HAMMS in that video they just released being the same version they’ve had out for the last couple years

 

Coco said she wasn’t happy with the drums (she drums too) so they re-recorded, made other minor tweaks

 

Ahh ok. Yeah I knew she was their drummer on the recordings as well but didn’t know she mentioned going back and rerecording. That’s cool then…something else to look forward to, on top of the few unreleased songs we haven’t heard yet

live drums > electronic drums

 

This is shaping up to be my “Neck Deep” record of 2025. Just a bunch of pop punk bangers. I don’t need someone to invent the genre.

 

I like what I've heard from this but why are 10 songs out already?!?

 

its re-recordings from an old EP and then other new songs they've already released

 

i was bored, but here are all the songs off the full length and when they originally came out

1. JUMPER CABLES (NEW 2025 unreleased)
2. You Look Like a Drunk Phoebe Bridgers (re-record from the Father Figure EP 2022)
3. Subaru (re-record from the Father Figure EP 2022)
4. HAMMS IN A GLASS (released in 2023 as a stand-alone single)
5. TALK (NEW 2025 unreleased)
6. Swimmer’s Ear (NEW 2025 unreleased)
7. R U FAMOUS (NEW 2025)
8. I Think You Should Leave (released in 2023 as a stand-alone single)
9. I’M IN THE MARKET TO PLEASE NO ONE (NEW 2024)
10. ATTENTION (NEW 2024)
11. Wilbrn St Tvrn (re-record from the Father Figure EP 2022)
12. Swear To God That I’m (FINE) (NEW 2024)
13. Johnny’s Dead (released in 2023 as a stand-alone single)
14. DON’T WALLOW (NEW 2025 unreleased)

so technically the actual new songs that were for the album are tracks 1, 5-7, 9, 10, 12, & 14

 

So the old versions are there on streaming as part of the full album at the moment, I think, that makes sense.

 

Yeah all of these songs rock. Hope they get a lot of cool opportunities once this album is out.

 

Just listened to them for the first. Very fun. This album + being on Rise will help them in the short term with opportunities. Already have/will be performing on big festivals

 

This record is a ton of fun

 

Record is a lot of fun and super catchy. Nice to have most of their discography in one place even though most of this was released awhile ago.

 

Straight bangers.

 

Really fun front to back.

 

Yeah this is great. Not often I find new pop punk bands I actually like anymore
