Displaying items by tag: The Ting Tings

When The Ting Tings exploded onto the pop scene in 2007, their grunge-chic style and sound were destined for success.  Now, five years after the debut of their hit single "That's Not My Name/Great DJ" and four years after their first full length, "We Started Nothing", The Ting Tings are back. 

I don't think that The Ting Tings are just another British "it" pop band of the moment, but I can certainly understand those who may think they are just that. On We Started Nothing, the Manchester duo (go City!) prove that they are perfectly capable of writing and performing infectious confections that stick with you despite any of your best efforts to rid yourself of the melodies they contain. In the wrong hands, this can lead to major annoyance and a quick career. If they continue to do it like the songs on this album, bigger things await.
