We Started Nothing

The Ting Tings

High-contrast dance-punk defined by percussive chanting and scratchy funk guitars. The definitive soundtrack to the 2008 indie-sleaze era.

A high-energy burst of defiant, neon-soaked confidence and rhythmic playfulness.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive, percussive vocal breakdown in That's Not My Name where the rhythm becomes the melody.
The sharp, Nile Rodgers-esque guitar scratch that drives the entirety of Shut Up and Let Me Go.
The way Great DJ builds from a simple acoustic strum into a full-blown dancefloor anthem.
