Tegan and Sara is an acclaimed Canadian indie pop band formed in 1995 by twin sisters Tegan Rain Quin and Sara Keirsten Quin, born on September 19, 1980, in Calgary, Alberta. Both serve as songwriters, vocalists, guitarists, and keyboardists.
The duo’s first album, Under Feet Like Ours, was released independently in 1999 under the name "Sara and Tegan." Shortly thereafter, the name was changed to Tegan and Sara to make it easier to pronounce, and the album was re-released under the new name.
In 2000, the band toured with Neil Young and, subsequently, with the group Pretenders. That same year, they released their second album, This Business of Art, on Vapor Records (a label of Neil Young). The discography continued with If It Was You (2002) and So Jealous (2004), whose track “Walking with a Ghost” gained notoriety after being re-recorded by The White Stripes in 2005.
Critical and public acclaim grew with The Con (2007), co-produced by Chris Walla (of Death Cab for Cutie), who also produced the following album, Sainthood (2009).
In 2013, the duo achieved major commercial success with the pop-oriented shift of Heartthrob, followed by Love You to Death (2016). More recently, they have released notable works such as Hey, I'm Just Like You (2019) and the album Crybaby (2022).
