The Ting Tings are a Salford duo who formed in 2007 and made a racket far bigger than two people should be able to: Katie White on vocals, guitar, bass drum, bass and cowbell, Jules De Martino on drums, lead guitar, bass, keyboards and vocals. Their sound is pure sugar rush, synth-pop and dance-punk hammered together with playground chants and garage-band attitude.
We Started Nothing, their 2008 debut on Columbia Records, drew good reviews and went to number one in the UK. "That's Not My Name" is the song that did it, a stomping, handclapping tantrum of a record, and it topped the UK singles chart in May 2008. "Shut Up and Let Me Go", all clanging cowbell and snotty swagger, won them an MTV Video Music Award. The album brought two Brit nominations, including British Album of the Year, and the Grammys put them up for Best New Artist in 2010.
They kept going: Sounds from Nowheresville arrived in February 2012, led by "Hang It Up", then Super Critical in 2014, The Black Light in 2018 and Home in June 2025.
