The Ting Tings, who tore it up last month at South by Southwest, are ready to unleash their debut album and live assault on North American audiences.

Manchester dance-pop duo the Ting Tings are coming back to America this summer with a new album and tour. The group's debut, We Started Nothing, will see its digital release on May 20 with a physical release on June 3.

The last time the group played in the U.S., it wowed crowds during SXSW and at select shows across the country. The duo, consisting of Katie White (vocals/guitar/bass drum) and Jules De Martino (vocals/drums), will kick off their tour in San Diego and finish it in Philadelphia.
