Sinners To Saints is an American metalcore band from the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania. The band is currently signed to Red Cord Records. They released a digital EP titled 'The Experiment EP' in late 2011, and will release their debut full length titled 'The Greatest of These' in 2012.

Band Formation
The band was formed in 2009 by Guitarist Jon Hendershot and drummer James Mowrer. In 2011, before recording their EP, "The Experiment EP", they added vocalist Andrew East, bassist Chris Maurer (former member of the band), and Guitarist Kyle East. The band is full of college students representing Penn State University, Liberty University, Full Sail University, and Moravian College. They are currently signed to Red Cord Records. In March of 2012, only a short time after the release of "The Experiment EP", the band signed to Illinois based record label, Red Cord Records  where the band is said to be "bringing a new twist to the music scene with technical, complicated parts mixed with catchy, driving melodies." This transition for the band caused Chris Maurer to step down from his role as bassist, allowing him to attend to his culinary studies at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh. A short time after, bassist Jake Bastian stepped up to fill the position.

The Experiment EP
Jon Hendershot and James Mowrer spent two years planning for, writing, and recording ‘The Experiment EP’, released in August, 2011. After writing the four song EP and finding three more members to complete the band, the group entered their friend's basement studio to record their first EP. 'The Experiment EP' contains four songs:


 * Oceans
 * Vanquisher
 * Charisma
 * Ambitions

The Greatest of These
In early 2012, Sinners To Saints announced via their facebook page that their debut full length album would be titled 'The Greatest of These'. The band expressed that the title comes from 1 Corinthians 13, a chapter in the Bible that serves as a conceptual basis for many of their lyrics. They will be recording the album in August of 2012 in Rockford, IL. The album is expected to release in 2012 on Red Cord Records.
