Hissanol were a two-piece experimental indie rock band based in both Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Victoria, British Columbia, Canada active between 1994 and 1998. The band was a studio-only project from former NoMeansNo guitarist Andy Kerr and Scott Henderson of Shovlhed, Swell Prod., the Showbusiness Giants, and other groups.
Since its two members lived on separate continents, the band collaborated via air mail, building upon each other's songs on multi-track recording equipment. Each member played a number of instruments and sang. The group released two full-length albums on Alternative Tentacles.
Both musicians remain active; Kerr is currently playing in Two Pin Din.
