Indie rock
Indie rockSynth-pop

The Ting Tings is a Indie rock and Synth-pop act. Their sound grew out of Beastie Boys, Portishead, Spice Girls, TLC and Fleetwood Mac. Those roots explain a lot about how The Ting Tings arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Ladyhawke, La Roux, Kate Nash, Gossip and Little Boots, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Nature, Junior Varsity and Calvin Harris, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 41 connections around The Ting Tings, reaching back through Beastie Boys and forward to Nature.
