The Ting Tings are an indie/pop duo, the band consists of two members: Jules De Martino (drums, guitar, vocals) and Katie White (vocals, guitar, bass drum). Although and pop/indie genre, they manage to expose both without diluting either of them.The pair were originally from Manchester but formed in 2006. at Salford.
In their short career, they have been signed with Columbia Records and released 3 singles including the hit "That's Not My Name" which went straight to the top of the chart at number one in the UK Singles Chart. They really stirred fans only depositing singles but steadily bulit up the launch of one of the most exciting British indie/pop records to emerge. The debut album 'We Started Nothing' was released on May 19, 2008 and also charted at Number 1 in the UK. This album, in my opinion, succeeds with spectacular style.

"That's Not My Name" is a track that is relentlessly catchy and with its punk-funk type style was bound to get peoples attention, as it has. The song "Be the One" sounds quite a lot like a Blondie Style one but is still a great tune. The Ting Tings throw in a lot of untreated guitars, powerful lyrics and a certain edginess. This album has really obscure lyrics that really are catchy and you can't help but sing along. The Ting Tings really deserve indie credit. Many people miss the point of the music and don't appreciate it, they seem to think that the songs are something written by children, but as childish as the lyrics, i actually enjoy it. Its good listening to them to brighten the mood because i know that I will hear something I havn't heard before. It doesn't get repetitive and i'm always happy with the outcome. I would reccommend this album to people who enjoy indie or dance style music because I find that it's no disappointment.
