Salford based band ‘Ting Tings’ have been chosen to provide the music for Apple’s next iPod and iTunes TV advert.

The track is called ‘Shut Up and Let Me Go’ and features on the Salford based band’s debut album, entitled ‘We Started Nothing’; released on May 19th.

The Ting Tings are made up of two members, Jules De Martino and Katie White. They got together to form the Ting Tings in 2006 while they lived in Islington Mill, Salford, Manchester.

They are set to release their debut album, We Started Nothing, in May 2008.

Previous singles from the Ting Tings have failed to chart in the UK, but with the boost a TV commercial for Apple will give them, expect to hear a lot of the Salford band in the coming months.

The TV commercial will air in the UK and across 22 countries in Europe in the next few weeks, and is already being shown now in the USA.

Previously Apple has used bands such as Feist, CSS and Brendan Benson for adverts for their iPod.
