Oh man I used to love listening to these two. I'm need to toss them on Spotify today. Got a long drive to do, so it'll be perfect.

Long drives are defined by the tracks that accompany them, in dire cases rolling down the windows and letting the wind roar is acceptable.

I prefer a mix of the two. Ideally with the top off as well, I'd the car supports it. (JEEP!)

Best of both worlds, love it

Tegan and Sara have always been the best.

Honestly only discovered them in the past couple of years, so much time to make up for

I had no idea it was such an old band (it was formed in 1999). I had only heard a couple of their newer songs, "Nineteen" and "Love They Say". I gotta listen to their first album!

Was just saying that in another comment. I’m a full discography kind of person so I’m definitely going to sit down and consume everything they’ve released

I listened to so much Tegan & Sara in high school and college. I kind of lost interest when they put out Heartthrob, it just didn’t sound like “them” anymore. But I recently listened to some of their newer stuff. I particularly liked Hey, I’m Just Like You, which I think sounds very much like a natural progression of “old” T+S.
