To say that The Ting Tings are my favourite band would be like saying this child's favourite meal is his Maccy D's.
Harsh, but more than likely true.
Swiftly moving on, the first ever concert I went to was The Ting Tings back in February 2009 and it certainly set the bar high for previous concerts I have ever been to. Katie's raw energy on stage is second to none and Jules' multi instrumental talents were put on show.
The simplicity of the lyrics, "That's not my name, that's not my name, THAT'S NOT MY NAME!" may irritate some whereas for me they are catchy, infectious and often have a deeper meaning than some may give credit for. Clearly demonstrated by their Ivor Novello Award win for their début album "We Started Nothing".
With MTV VMA wins and Grammy Nominations later they settled down to record their next slice of alternative pop. With the release of the single "Hands" last year however things since then have gone kind of silent.
Until recently however and whether it was intentional or not, when referencing to their quiet period in between they are set to release the next single, "Silence" from their yet unnamed second album.
You can hear a low quality version above along with some other new tunes I am eager to hear in high quality.
The video for Silence has already been shot in the bands birthplace of Salford and an image I saw on Katie's tumblr is hopefully an insight into what the video may look like.
