My New Favorite Band! The Ting Tings

So the other night I was watching the brand new Mercedes-Benz Music Magazine and found this great new band out of Salford, Manchester, England. They are called The Ting Tings and they are just awesome! This is fun electronic music that reminds you how great it is to be young despite all that is going on in the world.

Their eclectic electronic indie pop is infectious. They formed in 2006 performing at private parties at the Islington Mill, a converted cotton mill where the band lives with lots of other artists (painters, photographers, underground filmmakers, etc). I know it sounds soo bohemian and cool!

They are have been riding a wave of success ever since landing in at number 3 on the BBC's 2008 New Music Poll. They were recently singed to Columbia Records (UK) and their debut album is due out in May 2008. I can't stop listening to this track! I need more TING TINGS!
