History

Rennison worked in New York City but returned to her hometown of Vancouver to begin writing with former associate, Parker Bossley. She 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. Among the musicians playing in the band were current bandmates Eric Campbell (guitar) and Ian Browne (drums). No Sinner recorded their six-track debut album Boo Hoo Hoo, which was released in 2012 on the Vancouver-based indie label, First Love Records. [2]

No Sinner later signed with Provogue Records, with whom they released Boo Hoo Hoo throughout North America. [3] Following the release of their debut album, No Sinner went on a North American tour, during which they performed at the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival and the WXPN "Triple-A Non-Comm Convention". Their "Non-Comm" performance briefly placed them amongst artists such as Coldplay, Phish, and Jack White under the category of "Annually Most Added" artists on non-commercial radio. [4]

Interviews and press coverage of the band has appeared in VICE/Noisey, [5] Indie Shuffle, [6] Classic Rock Magazine, [7] Exclaim!, [8] and others. No Sinner has also played festivals worldwide, including the UK's Dot to Dot Festival.

The band's second album, Old Habits Die Hard, was released in May 2016.
