The Ting Tings

Posted at 1:52 PM on 17 May 2008

As it turns out, for reasons I have yet to fathom, I have been distinctly enamoured by a two-piece band from Salford called "The Ting Tings".

Well, by three of their songs, anyway.

Receiving masses of airplay at the moment (and hotly tipped for a high chart position tomorrow) is the fabulously bittersweet "That's Not My Name":

(Which was originally released with the mesmeric "Great DJ" on the B-side.)

Also noteworthy is the iPod-advert fueled "Shut Up and Let Me Go" (yay for cheesy youtube slideshows!), which is very CSS-like -- in a good way.

It remains to be seen if they are the new Republica, but at least they've got one more great song under their belts than that particular band ever managed...
