Based in Los Angeles, Sinner Sinners – founded in 2009 by husband and wife duo Sam and Steve Thill – have toured worldwide with bands such as Refused, The Sonics, Black Flag, Eagles of Death Metal or Nashville Pussy for the past decade.
The band marched their way onto the national scene in 2014 with the release of their raucous, aggressive Nic Jodoin-produced (Black Rebel Motorcycle Club) second full-length album, XI.
In 2017, Sinner Sinners released Optimism Disorder – an auditory Molotov cocktail album exploding with the intensity of early ’80s hardcore fused with an incendiary ’70s goth punk ethos.
“This record took 18 months to complete – we went through some very tough shit in our lives during this time, which is the main reason it took so long. As a result, it’s definitely the darkest stuff we’ve ever written,” states guitarist/frontman Steve Thill. “We went for something darker, moodier and heavier and at the same time took a more classic rock approach to it.
The LP was recorded at Rancho de La Luna in Joshua Tree, California (mostly known for giving birth to the Desert Sessions and recording artists such as Queens of the Stone Age, Iggy Pop, Kyuss, Arctic Monkeys), produced by Adam Greenspan (Refused, INVSN, Maximo Park) and Thomas Bellier (Spindrift, Blaak Heat), mixed by Pascal Mondaz in France, and mastered by Simon Capony at Basalte Studio.

In 2019, Sinner Sinners went back to the studio to record “black hearts” and “bleached out” to complete Puritanism, a compilation of singles released with British label Dissention Records and distributed by The Orchard Music.
While recording their new album, Sinner Sinners is releasing a special EP, Hanging On, which features 3 cover tracks: the Cure’s “Jumping Someone Else’s Train”, the Supremes’ “Keep Me Hanging On” and Eddie Floyd’s “Big Bird”.
As we are working on our next full length, we played around with some covers, and we had the great opportunity to track some songs with the multi-awarded trumpetist Dan Rosenboom and saxophonist Gavin Templeton, so we got to slightly expend on our range and cover some classic soul tunes we’ve always loved
–Steve Thill
Blending punk-inspired anthems with classic rock influences, Sinner Sinners is a live band that never makes compromises.
