Winona Fighter has to be one of my favorite bands of 2022 thus far. First of all we can all agree that is by far one of the coolest band names we ALL wish we had thought of. Secondly the way the band has hit the ground running has impressed me every step along the way. The band has gone from playing to small crowds to rocking out to a sold out show at The High Watt last week and the band shows no sign of slowing down any time soon. Winona Fighter released their debut E.P. titled “Father Figure” on Friday and judging by the response it’s getting, this band is gonna have the best 2022 ever. In a time of singles, it’s impressive to see Winona Fighter releasing a full EP. This band is all about real rock n roll and playing by no one else’s rules but their own, so the fact they decided to put out an EP all at once versus the usual move these days of single by single, sets the tone for this is Winona Fighter’s world and we are just lucky enough to live in it. The band released a music video for “You Look Like A Drunk Phoebe Bridgers” and it captures the band’s live vibe amazingly. With hints of early Bif Naked and Jessica Lea Mayfield, this EP is something special in a world that needs more of exactly just that. Now do yourself a favor and turn this one up NOW.
