Why the Honey Brothers Chose Them: "Besides hot babes and dancing? They write great songs and they know how to get the right beats to get you off your seat.

Why the Honey Brothers Chose Them: "Broken Social Scene does rock really well.Good group chemistry, damn tight for a band with about 20 sometime members, and great swelling melodies. They also do sweet quite well, too -- something you wouldn’t guess from their name. It's not revolutionary, but they're accessible, they're not too obscure, and they've got really great melodies."

Their Latest Record: 2008's dance-pop debut, We Started Nothing.

What They're Up To Next: The British boy-girl duo are touring North America with pop bad-girl Pink this fall -- head over to their MySpace page for a full tour itinerary.

Why the Honey Brothers Chose Them: "I normally only dance at parties, but occasionally someone will drag me to a dance club. For some reason I found myself jumping up and down and singing along to a couple songs I kept hearing on my travels; it took a friend from Moldava to explain that I was hearing a British pop duo called the Ting Tings. Why did I want to kiss almost everybody on earth, and punch the few bad people, when these songs came on? Some kind of pop magic, I think."
