The Ting Tings Reveal Rotting Corpse Cover Art For ‘Sounds From Nowheresville’
Wed Dec 14 2011 by Becky Bain
Perhaps The Ting Tings waited so long to release their sophomore album, they began to deteriorate while posing for their album cover? That's the only reason we can come up with for this crudely drawn cover art for Sounds From Nowheresville, the Brit duo's follow-up to their smash debut We Started Nothing. Actually, the real story about how this morbid cover and its equally absurd title came to be awaits you below. More »
The Ting Tings Resurface In New Video “Hang It Up”
Tue Oct 18 2011 by Becky Bain
It was nearly a year ago when we had a nice long chat with Katie White and Jules De Martino of The Ting Tings, who previewed us a handful of tracks from their sophomore album, which the British duo began recording a year prior — so basically, this album has been a very, very long time in the making. Thirteen months after dropping their single "Hands", the Grammy-nominated pair have revealed a new song and video for "Hang It Up". Catch it below. More »
The Ting Tings On Freezing In Berlin, Loving TLC And Making A “Playlist Album”
Thu Nov 11 2010 by Becky Bain
Around this time last year, the Ting Tings were tucked away in their studio in Berlin, writing and recording their follow-up to their debut album, We Started Nothing. Now the Grammy nominated, indie electro-rock-pop duo from Manchester, comprised of Katie White and Jules De Martino, are ready to release their sophomore LP (which is not called Kunst, by the way — but more on that later). And they've established their own way of getting attention.
"We’re not the loudest band in the room… you know, whip cream guns strapped to my tits, like how pop people are," Katie told us during our exclusive sit-down with the band. "We’re quiet in the little details, which I think is our way of being ballsy.”
We would certainly describe the British duo as having some serious guts. Instead of sticking strictly to the brassy dance-pop that turned "That's Not My Name" and "Shut Up And Let Me Go" into radio smashes, the band stretched for eclecticism this time around. They drew inspiration from TLC to Fleetwood Mac to cheesy movie themes from the 80s to create what they call their "playlist album". Head below for details on the Ting Tings' latest, and why living in Berlin in the wintertime might not have been such a great idea in retrospect. More »

The Ting Tings Jump Back To The ’80s In Their Orwellian “Hands” Video
Tue Sep 7 2010 by Robbie Daw
The new video from Missing Persons—oops, make that the Ting Tings!— is a synthy,'80s-drenched tour de force that rivals fellow Brit Mark Ronson's recent offering, "Bang Bang Bang." Produced by Calvin Harris, "Hands" is a frenetic track that's given an Orwellian "Big Brother is watching you" video via director Warren Fu. Head below and watch if you're working too hard.

Listen To The Ting Tings’ New Single “Hands”
Wed Aug 18 2010 by Becky Bain
The Ting Tings' Jules de Martino recently said the band's upcoming LP Massage Kunst "sounds very different from the first album, because who wants to release the same album twice?” And after hearing the Brit duo's new single "Hands", we'd have to agree with him. Bristling with New Wave keyboard lines, the new jam produced by Calvin Harris comes packaged with the infectious hooks we've come to expect from the Ting Tings, but departs from their previous work just enough to keep us wondering where their back-to-the-future trip will lead. Head on over to their Facebook to listen to "Hands" and to download a remix.
The Ting Tings Unleash Their New Track “Hands” At Wireless Festival
Tue Jul 13 2010 by Becky Bain
The Ting Tings have been quiet for a moment, but that's only because they've been in hiding perfecting their sophomore album Massage Kunst. "It's not a dance record or a rave record," Jules de Martino says in a recent interview with Barclaycard Unwind, with his other musical half Katie White adding, "We love pop music, but it just sounds very different from the first album, because who wants to release the same album twice?"
As much as we love "That's Not My Name" and "Shut Up And Let Me Go," we're definitely ready to hear some new tunes from the Brit duo. Jump below to check out a live performance of the Ting Tings' new song "Hands," which they performed at London's Wireless Festival. More »
