The Ting Tings aren't about proving themselves, they are simply here to enjoy it. Making great British pop music - their way - is what they're about.
Born of a desire to employ the DIY ethic from day one – Katie White and Jules De Martino escaped the industry trappings they once experienced in a previous band and went back to basics as a duo. They stripped back everything they thought they both knew about making music and the industry that revolved around every note.
Despite having been writing music together for nearly four years, Katie and Jules only recently began influencing each other's musical heritage in the conception of The Ting Tings. Katie changed Jules's opinions on the value of classic pop and in turn, he educated her about the many facets of indie, and subsequently her way around a guitar.
The first Ting Tings music to be circulated was the original version of 'That's Not My Name' in early summer 07. 'We Started Nothing' is a debut album brimming with intuitive pop nouse. It's pure garage-pop and once heard will in-bed itself into your subconscious for many days, weeks, months to come. Snappy choruses trade off against angular guitar work, whipsmart drumming and a succession of loops that they create live with the use of delay pedals.
