The Ting Tings: 'Scrapped album was s*** Euro-pop'

The Ting Tings have admitted that they scrapped their last album because it was full of "s**t Euro-pop".

The duo, who cancelled the release of their second LP in 2010, said they deleted the record because it sounded too similar to everything else on the radio.

Katie White told Digital Spy: "We were in Berlin where there is a great electro scene, and so we made songs like that, but quickly realised that everything on the radio was Euro-pop s**te. We didn't want our record to be tarnished with that brush."

Jules de Martino continued: "We scrapped six of the ten songs, which upset quite a few people. We put out 'Hands', which was meant to be an underground, white label-only release and it ended up being playlisted on Radio 1 - we were quite angry so erased over half the album."

The pair also insisted that they "found [their] feet" with their new album, adding: "No-one would give a s**t if we'd made a s**t Euro-pop song, even if it went top ten."

The Ting Tings' second studio LP Sounds From Nowheresville is released on February 27.
