Tegan And Sara: "I'm Not Your Hero," Live On Soundcheck

Listen to the entire interview and session: soundcheck.wnyc.org/2013/jul/3...
This year has been good to Tegan and Sara Quin, the identical twin sisters who lead the band Tegan And Sara. Their seventh studio album, 'Heartthrob,' premiered at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart, and the duo recently made the short list for Canada's prestigious Polaris Music Prize. And it's easy to hear why: Tegan and Sara's fizzy brand of pop draws you in immediately with pulsing synths, a propulsive beat, and uncannily catchy melodies.
Watch Tegan And Sara perform its single "I'm Not Your Hero" in the Soundcheck studio.

[@TheSnoopy1750]

This is the most underrated song on the album. Great lyrics by Sara (as always).

[@daviskena]

I feel like their vocals are getting better with age. BEAUTIFUL

[@conkerjb09]

Completely agree. It seems she is getting better with age and Tegan is kind of regressing. Tegan always sounds great in acoustic performances but seems pitchy when they play shows.

[@walkwithrach22]

They both sound great. I've always liked Tegan's voice.

[@paul_vlad]

Looks lip-synced to me

[@purplemind93]

I just adore the way she sings "your" in the chorus, so... empowering.

[@thebestlady11]

Sara has absolute perfect vocals!!!

[@Dn2M]

Don't know much about them, but this song gives me chills (in a good way).

[@anikapariseleti5055]

Dn2M You should check out more of their stuff they rock!

[@547ONN]

This "Hearthrob" album is really a must have. It contains a lot of good sounds and effects inside.

[@LindseyKateDolbear]

I love everything about this song. Such powerful lyrics and what a performance.

[@MsThreeSugars]

I love to hear them. I passe through a range of emotions that goes to tears to the urge to skydive.

[@bradmenpes809]

Wonderful song from a wonderful album.

[@purplesloth94]

Whoa, definitely my favorite version of the song. Sara's voice is gorgeous here.

[@Starchface]

Yes. I haven't heard this song in so long I had forgotten it. The performance is magnificent and Sara really sounds so good. It's hard to believe this record is a decade old already.

[@7nankarkar981]

Perfect tune & tempo.

[@elizabethfrances718]

I love this acoustic version of the song!

[@rociomilagross]

Adore this song 3

[@lapastilladejulio]

Love this song and love this band. "Learning all I know now, losing all I did". You can't no relate to that if you're a survivor. After all this time, I'm still learning... thankfully.

[@ramenbox]

This is just perfect to listen to after a rough day. I've been having some issues with a good friend of mine. I've been quite upset about it but listening to this right before I go to bed just makes me feel better about what I'm experiencing. The beauty of being able to relate to songs differently depending on the situation one is in. (also Tegan's backing vocals were really good here, not too overpowering)

[@baldeaguirre]

Finally I can hear Tegan's guitar!

[@aznt06]

Such a beautiful song.. So thankful to have found this. THe rhythm and word play is something Tegan and Sara are masters of.

3 Sara

[@Roseatta22]

The dislikes are people who are blind and missed the like button

[@valerioarka6937]

Sara performs better but Tegan has the voice of an angel.

[@mortkorra4785]

Tegan is looking scared like Sara's going to slap her if she will do a mistake :D
