It's not her name but it is her video

  • April 8, 2008
  • Popjustice

In time honoured tradition, The Ting Tings are about to release an amazing song which has already been out once but did not receive the proper attention. In a further nod to con­ven­tion, they have made a video to go with it. 


Basically it looks a bit like their last one but with a higher budget and fewer instances of retina-ruining visual effects and ‘con­tem­por­ary dance’ to spoil things. It also benefits from the fact that ‘That’s Not My Name’ is brilliant in every ima­gin­able sense.

Verdict: A solid effort. Marks gained for the flashing drums (AMAZING) are negated by those lost for hat-based con­tinu­ity errors (SHODDY). 8/10
