The Ting Tings reveal new album plans

The Ting Tings are planning to record their second album in early 2009.

The Salford duo told Teletext that they expected to get to work on their next effort sooner rather than later, having released their debut album, 'We Started Nothing', in May.

"The last record took three or four months to write, and we're looking at a similar time for the next one," said drummer Jules De Martino.

Singer/guitarist Katie White added: "I tried learning bass to help on the new songs.

"I'm good on rhythm guitar, but I quickly worked out bass is not my instrument. That won't affect the new songs too much."
