The Ting Tings - We Started Nothing Black LP PRE-ORDER

The Ting Tings debut album, released in May 2008, charted across the world from Ireland to New Zealand

and hit the top spot in the UK, where it was certified double platinum in 2014.

No less than seven singles were issued from it, most notably the infectious disco stomp of ‘Shut Up and Let

Me Go’, which reached number six in the UK, and the chart-topping smash ‘That’s Not My Name’, which

also reached number 33 on the Billboard Hot 100 and had the distinction of being described as “electro

Krautrock” by MOJO magazine while being simultaneously one of the catchiest pop tunes of the decade.

Both Katie White and Jules De Martino cut their teeth in teenage pop groups only to see their music career

as adults beset by false start, and these experiences had clearly left them with harsh feelings about the

industry that are articulated on this album.

But those formative years also gave them an instinct for cast iron pop hooks, meaning that comparisons

with the work of Blondie, Toni Basil, Gwen Stefani, Kylie Minogue and even New Order were fully justified.
