NO SINNER
Release new album ‘Old Habits Die Hard’
Provogue/Mascot Label Group
Out: 20th May 2016
No Sinner will be releasing their highly anticipated new album Old Habits Die Hard on 20th May through Provogue/Mascot
Label Group (Joe Bonamassa, Black Stone Cherry, Monster Truck, Beth Hart)
2014s Boo Hoo Hoo was a classic debut album experience from Vancouver’s powerhouse frontwoman Colleen Rennison. The
sound of a young singer’s first foray into the rock’n’roll world. The result of years spent fronting cover bands with players 10
years her senior, writing with musicians more seasoned and eager to give direction. Boo Hoo Hoo was raucous, rowdy and filled
with soul and danger. It was the sound of youth careening into the adventure of life with all the screaming tires and heartache
yet to come down the road. It was the sound of a wild haired girl riding into the horizon on the back of her boyfriend’s
motorcycle.
On Old Habits Die Hard, Colleen isn’t sitting on the back of the motorcycle anymore. She’s barrelling down the highway, her grip
on the throttle, and you better believe you’re going to hear her coming from miles away.
There’s a reason behind the acclaim that met No Sinner following their debut release via Mascot Label Group. Classic Rock
Magazine called Colleen, “an early contender for ball-breaking warrior princess of 2014" and Blues & Soul wrote, "No Sinner are
a rare gem of a find.” Their teeth-gritted brand of blues and rock brought the young band to showcases at SXSW, European
tours, sessions for Bob Harris on BBC Radio 2 and The Team Rock Classic Rock Magazine Show , club shows followed with
Reignwolf, Bass Drum of Death and Monster Truck. They were selected by Amazon as a New and Emerging Artist and both
Classic Rock Magazine and The Blues featured then as one of the Artisits to Watch 2014 while Noisey exclaimed the band
“oozes sex appeal.”
No Sinner isn’t Colleen’s first experience in the spotlight either. She pursued acting first, landing supporting roles in Sci-Fi shows
such as Stargate SG-1, The Outer Limits, Highlander and Poltergeist: The Legacy as well as major Hollywood films such as
Unforgettable, The Story of Us, Boot Camp, Mr Rice’s Secret starring such A-listers as Ray Liotta, Michelle Pfeiffer, Bruce Willis,
Mila Kunis and David Bowie. But seizing the spotlight with a microphone never left her mind. It's why Rennison would hold
notes for far too long in music class, why she'd sing in the middle of a soccer field when she was supposed to keep someone
from scoring, and why she ended up running away from boarding school and sneaking into open mic nights when she was 15.
Now, with all the experiences of the road, tour vans, cheap hotels and a hundred booze stained bars behind them, No Sinner is
emerging as a fully realized rock’n’roll band with Colleen fearlessly at the helm.
Old Habits Die Hard was Executively Produced by Ben Kaplan who has worked with artists as diverse as Biffy Clyro, Shakira,
Gallows, Rise Against and Atreyu and sees the band comes howling out of the gates. Screaming harmonica over a churning
rhythm section set the pace on the track Leadfoot, as Colleen snarls “You are mine. For the taking.” Colleen isn’t afraid to
eschew the stereotypes behind being frontwoman either. "Janis Joplin and Etta James are such an easy comparison," she
explains, "but I'm doing Robert Plant up there too. Its a bit of an androgynous album—a rock 'n' roll odyssey through heartbreak
and debauchery, good times and bad."
It’s a theme that runs through the album. Blurring the lines between good and evil, man or woman, saint or sinner. No Sinner
uses rock’n’roll to pummel through the walls of societal norms. As Colleen explains "I live and breathe rock 'n' roll. It's a disease
to want to push the envelope, to be an enemy to yourself at times, to want so much from the world that sometimes you can't

even stand to be in it. I never really felt like I belonged anywhere, and then I found the people that felt like me, that woke up
every morning with a hole in their heart that can only be filled by music.”
Old Habits Die Hard is a more accurate portrayal of where Rennison's head is at now than the songs on Boo Hoo Hoo. Or as she
puts it, "It's like the difference between your high school grad photo and your first mug shot.”
She brings it all home on the track Saturday Night. “Tell you once babe, I’ll tell you twice, I’ve got more to give than sugar and
spice.”
