Winona Fighter release new music video for ‘Wlbrn St Tvrn’
WINONA FIGHTER have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Wlbrn St Tvrn, is the brand new single from the Nashville-based punk band and follows on from their previous single, Subaru, which was released back in May. The new song’s accompanying music video is comprised of footage from the band’s Spring tour with BAYSIDE and ARMOR FOR SLEEP.
“Wlbrn St Tvrn was written at a time when we were really struggling to fit into the Nashville non-country scene. Around the time I wrote it, it seemed like there was this abundance of ‘TikTok’ popular ‘punk rock’ artists that just wouldn’t bat an eye at a raw act like us. I couldn’t get anyone to write with me, listen to our songs, or remember my name even though we had been on the same show bills before,” frontwoman and multi-instrumentalist Coco Kinnon shares. “WINONA FIGHTER had been DIY touring and grinding for YEARS, had a solid local following, and an EP (now known as Father Figure) that I thought rocked. Sure we recorded the whole thing in our spare bedroom (drums and all) but we were a serious, truly authentic band. However, I often felt met with a ‘kick rocks’ attitude. I was at my whits end and when I got to a session with what felt like the only people who WOULD write with me (Austin Luther, Johnny Gates, and Justin Mark Richards), I had to get out all my frustration.
I knew I wanted Wlbrn St Tvrn to have a thrash punk vibe from the start. What better way to get the point across than big drums, fat riffs, and truth bomb lyrics. We also wanted to make it a tad satirical to honor some of my favorite punk tunes. Bands like THE DESCENDANTS, THE DEAD KENNEDYS, NOFX, and more always impressed me with how some of there songs went hard but were also just a touch comical. Since this track was written to open our show and literally open up the pit, what better way to honor that than to do a live performance music video. I love this song. Some people say some of the lyrics are embarrassing but I don’t care. They ARE embarrassing! But in a scene where I felt like there wasn’t a lot of truth, I will never be embarrassed singing about it.”
