"The M.I.A. sass of 'Hit Me Down Sonny' and the Beastie bounce of 'Hang it Up' are natural successors... But the real gem here is the uncharacteristic 'Day to Day,' a lilting ballad that's basically the greatest song TLC never made." - Billboard

"...No Doubt-y reggae-pop jam, which pairs sunny vocals with a strangely funky squeaky-rocking-chair sample." (Soul Killing) - Rolling Stone

"Nowheresville does have the feel of hitting shuffle on a dozen of your favorite tracks: The album bounces from Pet Shop Boys-inspired club songs to Fleetwood Mac ballads to the group's now-trademark punk-infused synth-pop songs." - SPIN.com<http://SPIN.com>

Platinum-selling, GRAMMY nominated British duo The Ting Tings (Jules De Martino and Katie White) release their highly anticipated sophomore album, Sounds From Nowheresville (Columbia Records), TODAY! The Ting Tings will be performing their single, "Hang it Up" (which Entertainment Weekly calls "...the most excellently raucous boy-girl noise two scrappy kids have conjured up since the White Stripes...") on The Late Show with David Letterman TOMORROW, March 14; the duo will also appear on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on April 11. You can also catch the band at SXSW this week! Their YouTube/Google party performance will be streamed live at www.youtube.com/presents<http://www.youtube.com/presents> - The Ting Tings will be performing at 5:10 PM on Thursday, March 15. More details on the live stream are available HERE<http://www.google.com/events/sxsw/music/>. Also be sure to check out the Vevo premiere of their beautiful acoustic performance of album standout, "Day to Day" on Wednesday, March 14. From there they will be taking their electrifying live show on the road heading up the West and East coasts hitting LA, Portland, Seattle, Chicago and NYC along the way. Full tour routing and SXSW show details are below!

The Ting Tings have rediscovered their sound, called upon new inspirations, and are back with revitalized energy and a fresh perspective with Sounds From Nowheresville.  Paying homage to a bevy of influences, from the Beastie Boys, to Fleetwood Mac, to Pet Shop Boys, to tUnE-YarDs, the Ting Tings newest album listens as a mix tape of favorites. Featuring first single "Hang It Up", chamber pop-synth jam "Silence" and sing-along hooks of "Guggenheim" and "Day to Day", this collection is a natural progression for the acclaimed duo but still remains true to their signature pop sensibility and catchy rhythms. Sounds From Nowheresville is the perfect follow up to 2008's smash success, We Started Nothing featuring hit singles "That's Not My Name" and "Shut Up and Let Me Go".
