Wrapped up Canada Reads yesterday—Day 4. I was in the hot seat defending the book I believe all Canadians should read: The Cure for Drowning by Loghan Paylor The last four days have been such a trip. I’ve loved this process and feel so proud we have a show like Canada Reads in Canada. The other panelists Steve, Morgann, Elle-Máijá, and Josh, were incredible—true champions of their books. And all of their books were fantastic.…
I’m thrilled to be championing The Cure for Drowning by Loghan Paylor for this year’s Canada Reads. Sara did Canada Reads back in 2011, and she championed Essex County by Jeff Lemire. She spoke so highly about the experience, and I’ve been looking forward to my turn ever since. As far back as I can remember, I’ve loved reading. It’s honestly one of my favourite things to do. Crawling into bed with a book feels like…
Twenty years ago Sara played me a song called Walking With A Ghost. We were on tour in Europe. I couldn’t believe she had written it, but it was also the sound of the recording, her instrumentation, the vibe of the whole thing that shattered me. It was clear Sara had uncovered something, some new creative avenue, a direction for our band I hadn’t even realized we were in need of. I felt panicked.…

Even if you were not in the film, this story couldn't have been told without your help. To my team, and friends and family who contributed, thank you for your support throughout the making of the movie, and the past 14 years as we…
To celebrate the release of our newest graphic novel, Crush (out Oct 1st), WE’RE GOING ON A BOOK TOUR! Coming to a city near (some of) you, we’ll be discussing all things Junior High – from first crushes, first songs and first loves to writing and the creative process.

We're thrilled to announce CRUSH, the sequel to Junior High is coming out October 1, 2024! Brought to life with art by Tillie Walden, this second volume is all about crushes, crushing it, and being crushed by life in junior high. About the book: Tegan and Sara may have survived seventh grade, but their junior high jams are just beginning. Offstage, school is officially back in session. Between Sara’s growing feelings for her dream…
Over the last year, we sat down to tell the story of our band, and career to writer Laura Snapes. We went into the studio with John Congleton and Luke Reynolds (who we made Crybaby with) to re-imagine eight songs from our catalogue. The result is our Audible Words + Music episode: Under My Control! It’s a comprehensive look at the last twenty-five years in our own words, with new recordings of some of…
We wrote Make You Mine This Season over Zoom with Alex Hope in 2020. We wrote the song for our friend Clea Duvall's Christmas movie Happiest Season. Our hope was to write something that would be at least as big (I'm joking) as All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey - I literally think Clea suggested we do something similar - so we immediately started to think of how to make a…

We've been teasing what we're going to do next year for a while now, and we're finally ready to tell you. Although we have ten albums, the first one that truly set our band on its way was "If It Was You." The album came out in August of 2002, when we were just shy of turning twenty-two years old. Writing the album we had painstakingly learned Pro Tools so we could record ourselves…
