The debut album by Salford s The Ting Tings comes hot on the heels of their No.1 single That s Not My Name, a nugget of pop gold that comes on like a genetic splicing of Toni Basil s Micky and The Knack s My Sharona. The bulk of We Started Nothing follows a similar formula, navigating a path between the smart, angular indie of CSS, Bonde Do Role, et al and the pop mainstream. Here and there, they pull it off perfectly: the stutter-rap of Fruit Machine sees vocalist Katie White leading on some poor sap with sultry charisma and lip-gloss sass, while the excellent Shut Up and Let Me Go is snappy dance-punk in the spirit of Blondie s Rapture or Tom Tom Club s Genius of Love. Elsewhere, they branch out with mixed results. We Walk builds from quiet flourishes of piano into a surprisingly steely manifesto: Smash the rest up/Burn it down/Put us in the corner cause we re into ideas, sneers White. Rather less good is Traffic Light, a light, jazzy number that employs a number of somewhat forced d...

#Crap - THAT IS YOUR NAME ! (2008-11-12) THE WORST POP/PUNK/ROCK . . WHATERVER! BAND IN THE WORLD!please people grow up and listen to some AC/DC !Most of all VERY ANNOYING ! id rather listen to an entire CD of a toilet being flushed than this garbage !

#Who the hell gave these idiots a record deal? Utter rubbish! (2008-10-25) This has to be one of the worst groups I ve ever heard. The woman singer cannot even sing, the songs that I have heard are extremely poor and not even catchy. A feeble attempt at being punk and trying to sound like that one hit wonder from the 80s - Mickey. The punk world will no doubt feel insulted and embarrassed by this group and the woman who sang Mickey (Toni Basil) at least sounded like she could sing a few notes! There is nothing good to say about this group or any of their songs. I know p...

#not bad but not great either! (2008-10-24) Katie White sounds like Tony Basil on tracks like Great DJ, The Drums, Thats not my name while slowing down her act for Be the one which are good material which is not backed up even more by some of the duff tracks involved like Impacilla Carpisung and Traffic Lights which does not lend a great deal to a debut album as of course for every new band or solo act starting debut albums will have the odd one but NME s OTT reviews could come back and haunt them if the Ting Tings fail to come up with a different if winning formual for their second a...

#Every 8 year old should have it! (2008-10-20) First heard these early this year, about the same time as I saw the Kills. For me, they are a bit candy pop but it s a great compromise when arguing with my 8 year old daughter about what music is going on the CD player. It s worth it just to catch her doing air guitar and miming the words. . . . very badly! A fun Album.

#Fun (2008-10-09) I can t believe I bought this. When I first heard the Ting Ting s I thought they were dreadful. It sounded like really naff cheesy pop. And it is, but it s also very catchy and I have to admit I like it. The more I hear it the more it grows on me. It s not cool to like it, but that doesn t mean it s not okay to like it. It s just probably best not to admit it to people when you first meet them. That s Not My Name is probably the best pop tune of the year for me.

#Ting Tings Bin-it (2008-06-13) This is one of the most annoying songs I have heard this year. It sounds crude, brash and pretentious. The drumbeats and singing are nauseating to listen to and hurt the ears and the lyrics are a spectacular nonsense. The only reason I am not giving it one star is it is funny in a bad way.

#Infectious, cool and utterly irresistible - straight to number 1! (2008-05-25) Barcode: 0886972937922Every so often there s a song that just comes out of nowhere and just explodes in the public consciousness - becoming instantly popular and soaring to chart success. That s Not My Name by the Ting Tings is one of those records. Previous single Great DJ gave us a brilliant taster to their sound and became a big radio hit and That s Not My Name builds on that success, employing an irresitably catchy formula that results in an ingenuitive song that totally deserves the success it has ach...

#A Name To Conjure With (2008-05-10) Great bouncy tune,exciting dancey beat and Katie White on vocals-what more could you ask for?The lead singer of this duo is carving herself a name on the scene,with her own stage persona,her own style and a great presence on stage. I love this track,its repeatedly listenable,and with an instore performance coming up in London next week,its the icing on the pop cake for me. Buy this single and make it No. 1.
