Winona Fighter release new music video for ‘Subaru’

WINONA FIGHTER have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Subaru, is the brand new single from the Nashville-based punk band and follows on from their previous single, I’m In The Market To Please No One, which was released back in March.

Speaking about the new song, frontwoman Coco Kinnon says, Subaru was truly never written to be as important as it is… but during our most recent tour, the amount of people who told us it’s their favourite WINONA FIGHTER track was crazy. The fans really made me have a whole new love and appreciation for it so we’re extremely excited to re-release Subaru into the world. My literal hand-me-down Subaru got me from New England to Nashville, Nashville to Los Angeles, Los Angeles back to Nashville, and through a multitude of tours when Dan (guitarist) and I had just started playing together. She deserved a song.

Austin and I wanted to tap into that nostalgic feeling with late 90s/early 2000s punk instrumentation plus a dose of satire, fun, and ‘leave your hometown’ lyrics. Subaru summer? More like song of the summer amiright? We hope our fans have as much fun with this song as we do. I think this song was a lesson for us on not taking ourselves too seriously. If you’ve heard this track before, we hope you enjoy the new mix and drums…if this is your first time hearing it, we cannot wait to scream it with you at a festival or show soon!”

Speaking about the new song’s accompanying music video, Kinnon adds, “we took that dose of satire from the song and used it to fuel the Subaru music video. It only took one meeting for Jake Johnston (creative director) and Dan Masso (producer) over at We’re All Gonna Die to really gauge our sense of humor. Dan, Austin, and I are never not having a little laugh so it was really awesome to let our natural selves shine on set. We took inspiration from our favorite comedy shows and movies growing up. From Anchorman (a movie that came out when we were kids) to I Think You Should Leave (a show that has us in a choke hold as adults) we were in a melting pot of WINONA FIGHTER humor. Absolutely cracking up at any and every take. Is there a big meaning behind the video? I’d say it is whatever you interpret it to be about. I think this music video shows the most true side of the band which is that we love what we get to do so much and we are going to have fun with it whenever we can. Jake, Dan M., and the rest of the crew + cast gave this video so much life! Big thanks to them.”
