Tegan and Sara is an indie Canadian rock band formed by twin sisters Tegan Quin and Sara Quin. The two are known for their interchanging vocals and guitar playing, resulting in a completely unique folk-rock sound.  The duo grew up playing music together, learning to play piano at age eight and eventually switching to acoustic guitars at age fifteen. From there, they began to write their own songs. At age seventeen, they won Calgary’s Garage Warz and recorded Yellow Demo, using the studio time they had been given as a prize from the competition. Since then, Tegan and Sara have produced six albums. Their latest album, Sainthood, was released in October of 2009.

The track “The Con” was one of the singles taken from their fifth studio album under the same name. It’s catchy and upbeat, exactly what a single should be. It’s the kind of gem meant to draw fans old and new into an album that’s full of them.
