WINONA FIGHTER SHARES NEW MUSIC VIDEO FOR “WLBRN ST TVRN”
Punk rock force Winona Fighter just unveiled a new video for their single “Wlbrn St Tvrn.” The video, packed with electrifying live footage from their spring tour with Bayside and Armor For Sleep, showcases the band’s raw, explosive energy and undeniable stage presence.
Frontwoman and multi-instrumental Coco Konnon shares, “‘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 ‘Tik Tok’ 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,”
Continuing, “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.” And she adds, “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 Descendents, 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.” You can watch the music video below
