Voila. My command of French is unsurpassable. The Ting Tings have a 7" out on Switchflicker which is painfully trendy sounding. Somewhere between Pink, Be Your Own Pet and Toni Basil. That sums it up exactly and I defy anyone to find a better comparison. If you know of one plese tell me and I will sulk everywhere. That's Not My Name is 7" only....

Who the bloody hell are the bloody Ting Tings?

Well The Ting Tings sound like Beth Ditto slipping into an elasticated polka-dot number and bumping one of The Pipettes off stage mid-handclap.

And as ungodly as this might sound, it actually works - particularly on the amazing 'That's Not My Name'.” – Pop Justice Song of the Day

If someone was to write a film about a hedonistic summer, this would be the band to write the soundtrack. Glittery, sun-shine drenched, sexy, effortlessly cool and with a mischievous glint in their eyes, The Ting Ting’s are here to steal your iPod, and keep this quiet, The Gossip’s syncing contract with Skins.

“The Ting Tings are a blindingly brilliant, spanking new electro duo” – The Metro

Two gems of sparkling pop magic, they’re the songs the aforementioned band wish they could have wrote to follow Standing in the Way of Control. ‘That’s Not My Name’ is a sugar coated slice of day dream pop perfection, epitomised by the sound of a skipping rope that leads us into the song, spinning the listener into The Ting Ting’s world, and before you know it, you will be singing “they call me Jane’ under your breath hours later.

The Flipside, ‘Great DJ’, keeps up the incredibly high standard, its stuttering art pop that superlatives can’t do justice, the song to send dance floors into raptures. An edgy electro-disco loop collides with White’s provocative voice and within seconds it confirms exactly what you expected, The Ting Tings are yours and everyone’s new favourite band.

‘That’s not my name!’ sings Katie White, give it a few months and everyone will know the Ting Ting’s name….

5...according to Amado.

5...according to Wayne.

Saw them on the John Ross show and absolutely blown away by this song! How refreshingly brilliant.... give me more!

5...according to Berry Valentine.

I heard this song on the MOD Club Radio and I really hope they play it again sometime soon, because it is absolutely phenomenal. The Ting Tings are the greatest unsigned band in all of Manchester, if not the entire UK! This song is GONNA BE HUGE.
