What is it with twins and BC? Of course there’s the Sedin twins Henrick and Daniel, Lions Peak which is referred to in indigenous language as “the twins” and then now in the music world Alanna and Brianne Finn-Morris. 

Honestly as a person who lives just out of Vancouver, I was disappointed with myself how long it took to discover the Finn-Morris twins. If you do know them though, it may be because you’ve seen the twins busking on Granville Island or playing small sets in White Rock. 

Alanna and Brianne, known professionally as Fionn, have officially graduated from local favorites to national heavyweights. In an era where viral TikTok hits usually get looked down upon as un-serious music. The Finn-Morris twins showed that if you’re good, people will find you. 

Their breakout moment came with the track “Blow”, an anti-mansplaining anthem. The song didn’t just hit the charts and leave, it stayed on the Billboard Canada Modern Rock Airplay chart for a staggering 42 weeks. After 31 weeks of steady climbing, it finally hit the No. 1 spot in late 2025, proving that their grit and persistence under the 604 Records banner was paying off.

What makes Fionn so interesting to follow is their evolution. They started with a folk-pop sound rooted in their Celtic heritage. When I listen to their music I notice a clear shift in sound by 2021 with their release of “Dirty Dancing”. A much more pop upbeat sound that really resonates with young music fans. Since then they’ve released their fourth studio album, scum, in late 2025. They’ve managed to capture the frustration of a generation while keeping the melodies catchy enough for mainstream radio.

As we move through 2026, the momentum isn’t slowing down. They were recently named one of Billboard Canada’s “10 Rising Acts to Watch,” and they are set to headline a major showcase at NXNE this June. For a band that used to play 100 shows a year in BC restaurants just to get noticed, seeing them sell out rooms in Toronto and Ottawa is a massive win for the West Coast. They are proof that in the BC music scene, you don’t need to be an overnight sensation to become a legend, you just need to be too good to ignore.
