Twin sisters Tegan and Sara have announced their debut joint memoir High School, where they will share "intricate stories that shaped our relationship as sisters, musicians, and queer girls."

The Calgary twins' new memoir is a coming-of-age story revealing how they grew up in the emergng grunge and rave scene of the 90s.

Commenting on their memoir, Tegan and Sara explain, "How did you start your band? When did you know that you were gay? What were you like before Tegan and Sara? We have spent twenty years answering those complicated questions with simple answers. Writing High School gives us the opportunity to tell the intricate stories that shaped our relationship as sisters, musicians, and queer girls.”

High School is a celebration of their 20 year career that has seen the sisters release eight studio albums, their most recent being 2016's Love You to Death.

The same year as Love You to Death the twins set up their Tegan and Sara Foundation, which fights for health, economic justice, and representation for LGBTQ girls and women. Find out more.
