No Sinner was a blues rock quartet based in Vancouver, British Columbia. The group was led by singer-songwriter Colleen Rennison—the band's name was her surname spelled backwards.[1][2]
History
After returning to her hometown of Vancouver from New York City, Rennison started a rotating back-up band to fill her weekly Thursday night performances at Guilt and Company, which was then a club in Vancouver's Gastown district.[2] Among the musicians playing in the band were current bandmates Eric Campbell (guitar) and Ian Browne (drums).[2] No Sinner released their six-track debut album Boo Hoo Hoo in 2012 on the Vancouver-based indie label First Love Records.[3]
No Sinner later signed with Provogue Records, with whom they released Boo Hoo Hoo throughout North America.[4] Following the release of their debut album, No Sinner went on a North American tour, during which they performed at South by Southwest and the WXPN Triple-A Non-Comm Convention.[5]
Interviews and press coverage of the band appeared in Vice,[6] Indie Shuffle,[7] Classic Rock,[8] Exclaim!.[9] No Sinner also played festivals worldwide, including the UK's Dot to Dot Festival.[8]
The band's second and final album, Old Habits Die Hard, was released in May 2016.[10][11]
