Tegan & Sara relish mainstream success of latest record

Tegan and Sara say it's exciting to be getting more mainstream exposure since the release of their latest album.

Heartthrob, the seventh studio record from the Canadian twins, has been their highest charting to date in the US.

"We've always enjoyed our status as an underground or niche band," says Sara Quin. "But we thought maybe we do want to crack through and have a little more recognition. It's really nice."

The duo formed their first band in 1995 when they were 15.
