While working on our memoir, we discovered lost cassette tapes that had been unheard for over 20 years, […] They contained dozens of our first songs, written between the ages of 15 and 17…. We immediately recognized the songs as an essential part of our high school story. […] With only minor tweaks to lyrics and structure, we tried to remain true to the original essence of each song. […] This is the record we never could have made as teenagers, full of songs we never could have written as adults.
