Winona Fighter serve up a punk rock punch to the gut with My Apologies To The Chef, and it’s exactly what you ordered and deserves a big tip.
Nashville’s punk scene just got a whole lot cooler. Winona Fighter, the untamed trio led by the fierce Coco Kinnon, have finally let their debut album off the chain. And My Apologies To The Chef does its job by living up to their wild, primal, and unmerciful live shows. Fueled by biting lyrics, feral guitars, and fist-pumping choruses, the record bottles up the band's unstoppable energy and shakes it until it explodes in your face.
Featuring past singles and future classics like “Hamms In A Glass,” “You Look Like a Drunk Phoebe Bridgers,” and “I’m In The Market To Please No One,” the whole album is a middle finger to normalcy, a rallying cry for anyone tired of fitting into neat little boxes. From the opening blast of “Attention” to the gut-wrenching “Johnny’s Dead,” every track is built to rattle your brain. This is an album that’s on its way to becoming a movement. And if you’re not familiar with these songs, you’re already behind.
Kinnon, a Boston punk scene transplant, has made it her mission to bring thrashable, inclusive punk rock to Nashville, a city better known for honky-tonks than hardcore. After recruiting lead guitarist Dan Fuson and bassist/producer Austin Luther, the trio earned a reputation as one of the more explosive live bands on the scene with shows that are cathartic, communal, leave-your-bullshit-at-the-door gatherings. My Apologies To The Chef is a snapshot of that chaos, a record doused in rock n’ roll gasoline with a lit match dangling precariously close. ripping through the speakers in a full-throttle adrenaline rush.
