The Ting Tings

The Ting Tings are an English indie pop duo from Salford, Greater Manchester, formed in 2007. The band consists of Katie White and Jules De Martino. The band’s name consists from the Mandarin Chinese word for “an old bandstand in a park” as well as the Cantonese word for “listen”.

The duo’s debut album, We Started Nothing, was released on 19 May 2008 by Columbia Records and peaked at number one on the UK Albums Chart. The album spawned four singles including That’s Not My Name, which reached number one on the UK Singles Chart in May 2008.

Since then, the duo have released two studio albums: Sounds from Nowheresville in February 2012, with the lead single Hang It Up released a month prior; as well as their third studio album, Super Critical, arriving two years later in October 2014.
