March 21st Source: Guardian.co.uk The Ting Tings Who are they? Hotly tipped guitar-drum pop duo from Salford Chosen by: Nic Harcourt, musical director, KCRW radio and host of influential US radio show Morning Becomes Eclectic "Last year, when I first heard the demo of their song That's Not My Name, I was like, 'This is a fucking killer pop song.' It's electro, it's rock, it's a mix of stuff, but really it's unique. They've really got something - well first of all they've got her [Katie White, singer and guitar player], which in itself is different because right now, at least here in the US, there's plenty of boy bands that rock. But they've also got killer songs with great melodies and that is the bottom line. In my work as a music supervisor, I've placed two of their songs in two different movies and both of those have made people come up to me after test screenings and say, 'What is that song?' And it looked to me like they got much the same reaction from everyone at SXSW who saw them live." Where can I hear them?
There are four songs at myspace.com/thetingtings. The Ting Tings' debut album will be released on May 19 on Sony. They tour the UK between April 2 and 16.
