The Ting Tings say that they're unhappy about being promoted as a "cool" and "credible" pop band.

The duo decided to make their upcoming LP away from their hometown of Manchester in fear of replicating the sound of their first album. 

"We hated the fact we'd become pigeonholed as a cool DIY 'credible' pop band. We always felt we were more than that - we want to have big shows, like a proper pop band."

Frontwoman Katie White also said that they shunned the celebrity club scene by adding, "We weren't bothered with much of that. I was more into going to Netto supermarket in my pyjamas rather than clubbing."
