History

Identical twins Alanna and Brianne Finn-Morris grew up in White Rock, British Columbia. Their father was a musician originally who emigrated from Ireland to Canada and played in an Irish show band; their mother owns a music school in White Rock. [1] They began performing together at the age of 12 as buskers in their hometown. [2] They originally sang as "Alanna & Brianne", but changed their name to Fionn as an Irish influence on the first part of their shared surname. The sisters stated in 2017 that they were agnostic as to whether the band's name was pronounced “FEE-on” or “fee-UN”. [3] [ dead link ]

The sisters signed with Vancouver-based 604 Records in 2018. [4] [5]

Their first self-titled album was released in 2018, which the band described as "folk-pop with occasional Celtic twists". They followed that up with the EP Everyone's a Critic in 2020, [6] and their second full album, Candid Constellations, in 2021. Their third full album, I Might Start Smoking, was released in 2023. [7] They toured across Canada in support of the album in the fall of 2023. [8]

In 2025, Fionn released the single "Blow", which a critic described as "an eruption of pent-up frustration, sarcasm, and righteous anger". [9] "Blow" reached #2 on the Billboard Canada Modern Rock Airplay chart. [10] On October 17, 2025 Fionn released their 4th studio album entitled Scum just before heading off on their first headlining tour throughout the Western United States and Canada. Their tour included stops in Seattle, Olympia, Portland, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Diego, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary.
