Rising pop-punk band Winona Fighter have delivered an acoustic version of fan-favorite track “You Look Like A Drunk Phoebe Bridgers” today.
The song was originally featured on Winona Fighter’s Father Figure EP before being re-recorded for the band’s debut album My Apologies To The Chef. Vocalist Coco Kinnon said this about the song, which can be heard here:
“We are so stoked to release ‘You Look Like A Drunk Phoebe Bridgers (acoustic)’! It was pretty crazy to us how much of a new life was breathed into it by making an acoustic version. The first time I listened to the final mix, I felt like I was listening to it for the first time all over again. After playing it live for so long we were able to take some of the parts that naturally changed over the years and incorporate them into this newer, more raw version. And yes, it’s raw.
The vocals have no post production enhancements on them, the acoustic guitars were solely mic’d up by two microphones, and the drums are partially recorded through a garden hose (shout out to Sylvia Massy for the inspiration on that one). This new version had us put being “artists” aside and brought us back to our roots of being musicians. Focusing on the musicianship and having fun with it along the way. It inspired us so much that there may be even more coming down the pipeline… We hope it’s as refreshing for the listeners as it is for us!”

The band will also have festival appearances at All Your Friends Fest this weekend, Minnesota Yacht Club Festival next month, and Vans Warped Tour Orlando in November. Tour dates can be seen below.
