The Insaints were an American punk rock group from San Francisco, CA, originally fronted by controversial vocalist Marian Anderson from 1988-1994. Seven years later, in 2001, Anderson died of a heroin overdose at the age of 33.
In 2005, the group reformed under the same name with Eva Von Slut as its new vocalist.
A documentary about the Insaints, narrated by Henry Rollins, is set for an upcoming release and will feature interviews from Daniel DeLeon, Texas Terri, and assorted Gilman Street veterans.

[edit] Recorded output
During their previous existence, the Insaints' catalogue consisted of only one official release, in 1993; a split, double 7-inch EP with the Diesel Queens, released by Maximum RocknRoll. The founder of Maximum RocknRoll, Tim Yohannan, was dating singer Anderson at the time, thus the record is dedicated to him.
On November 9, 2004 the six tracks from the EP, along with the four other outtakes from the 1993 EP recording and nine additional live tracks, were released as a full length album called Sin of Saints. The proceedings from the album sales at present go to Anderson's daughter.
