Two Door Cinema Club are a band formed in Bangor, County Down, Northern Ireland in 2007. The band is composed of three members: Alex Trimble (vocals, rhythm guitar, beats, synths), Sam Halliday (lead guitar, backing vocals), and Kevin Baird (bass, synths, backing vocals).
The band's debut album, Tourist History, was released on 1 March 2010 by French independent record label Kitsuné Music. In the United States, where the band are signed to Glassnote Records, the album was released on 27 April 2010. Tourist History was selected for the Choice Music Prize for Irish Album of the Year (2010) the following year.
The band's second album, Beacon, was released on 3 September 2012, debuted at number one on the Irish Albums Chart[5] and reached number two in the UK Albums Chart.
The band's third album, Gameshow, was released on 14 October 2016. The first single, "Are We Ready? (Wreck)", was released on 14 June 2016 and was debuted on Annie Mac's Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1. Two more singles, "Bad Decisions" and the title track, "Gameshow", were released prior to the album and are also included on the track list.
Their fourth album, False Alarm, was released on 21 June 2019 and featured the singles "Satellite" and "Talk". In the following years, they have become a frequent sight at festivals such as Reading and Leeds Festival and Glastonbury.
Formation
[edit]Trimble and Halliday first met while attending Bangor Grammar School; the pair later met Baird while he was flirting with girls who were known to his future bandmates.[6] The three first performed as a band at the age of 16 on ATL Rock School under the name Life Without Rory; the band finished in last place. Life Without Rory recorded three demos before disbanding; the first, "Safe in Silence" and the second, "Conscripted By Choice" are still on the band's inactive MySpace page,[7] while the third "You Missed the Point" can be viewed on YouTube.[8]
Trimble, Halliday and Baird formed another band shortly after the demise of their first musical project; on this occasion, a permanent drummer was not included. An interim drummer by the name of Owen Bullington was appointed but was kicked out due to creative differences. The new band's name was taken from Halliday's mispronunciation of the name of the local cinema, the Tudor Cinema;[9] in 2007, Two Door Cinema Club was formed. Following an increased interest in the band's social network page, the three members forwent their university places and commenced work on studio material.[citation needed]
History
[edit]Early releases and Four Words to Stand On (2007–2009)
[edit]An EP entitled Four Words to Stand On was released on 26 March 2008 and received attention on a number of websites. The EP was self-recorded and produced and was mixed and mastered by Ryan Mitchell. For the tenth anniversary of the EP, the band publicly released it in March 2018.[citation needed]
Tourist History (2009–2011)
[edit]In July 2009, Two Door Cinema Club began recording its debut album at Eastcote Studios in London, with Eliot James. In September 2009, the band began mixing the record with Phillipe Zdar at Motorbass, Zdar's studio in Paris.[10]
In January 2010, Two Door Cinema Club announced the track listing and details of the band's debut album in an interview with NME.[11] The album, entitled Tourist History, was released on 26 February 2010 in the Republic of Ireland, 1 March 2010 in the United Kingdom and 27 April 2010 in the U.S. The album was also preceded by the singles "Something Good Can Work", "I Can Talk", which was also featured in the EA Sports game, FIFA 11, and "Undercover Martyn".
On 18 January 2011, Two Door Cinema Club appeared on the American late night talk show, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, performing the song, "What You Know", which later became their biggest hit of the record.[12]
Beacon (2011–2013)
[edit]In April 2012, the band's official account revealed that a second album was near completion. On 20 June 2012, the band announced Beacon as the title of their second studio album, along with a release date of 3 September 2012 in the UK and 4 September elsewhere.[13][14] Jacknife Lee, responsible for producing artists such as U2, R.E.M., Snow Patrol and Bloc Party, produced the album.
On 19 July 2012, "Sleep Alone" was selected as the lead single from Beacon and a "Sleep Alone" SoundCloud player was embedded on the NME site, allowing readers to listen to the single on 19 July 2012; however, the single was not officially released until 21 July.[15] The accompanying music video for the single was uploaded to the band's YouTube channel on 8 August.[16] "Sleep Alone" was also featured in the EA Sports game, FIFA 13.

Following the release of Beacon, the band released a four-part tour documentary entitled What We See. Filmed by Gregg Houston from Babysweet Sessions, a company that is friends with the band, the documentary accompanies the band members as they undertake a 2012 European summer tour prior to the release of the second album. Bassist Baird explained, in relation to the film: "Our good friends at Babysweet followed us around for a few weeks so our fans could get an idea of what life is really like for us on the road. Take a peek inside our average day."[17]

On 14 June 2016, the album artwork was revealed. On the same day, BBC Radio 1 debuted a new song from the album called "Are We Ready? (Wreck)".[27] Prior to that, the band put the album up for pre-order. Two Door Cinema Club then released "Bad Decisions" as the second single off of the album, followed by the third and final single "Gameshow". On 6 July 2016, the band released a music video for "Are We Ready? (Wreck)", the song was also featured in the EA Sports game, FIFA 17.[28] On 14 October 2016, the band released their third studio album, Gameshow.[29]

On 24 April 2019, the band released "Satellite" and announced the new album, False Alarm.

Keep On Smiling (2022)
[edit]During the band's May 2022 tour dates in Brazil, Two Door Cinema Club performed with unknown folk singer David Clements as the group's vocalist instead of Trimble. Trimble was not allowed to enter Brazil because he was unable to receive a COVID-19 vaccine for medical reasons.[31][32]
On 16 June 2022, Two Door Cinema Club released the first single, "Wonderful Life" from their forthcoming fifth album, Keep On Smiling.[33]
On 28 July, after using lottery scratcher-themed posts to reveal the date, "Lucky" was released as the second single.
The album was released digitally by Lower Third Records/Prolifica Inc. on 2 September 2022, with a limited edition run of 5,000 vinyl albums being released on 4 November 2022 (in association with PIAS in Europe and Glassnote in North America).[33] As a protest to multi-format releases and album bundles,[34] which has seen many indie acts like The Wombats, Sea Power and Maximo Park drop out of the UK Top 75 Albums Chart from the Top 5 in their second week of release, the band decided to destroy their latest album's masters in a furnace, so it could never be issued on CD or re-issued in the future.
In September 2023, the group released a new single, "Sure Enough".[35]
In March 2024, the group released another new single, "Happy Customers".[36] Alongside the release, the band confirmed that the recent singles aren't currently a part of a larger album, as the format of album "feels very dated" according to Halliday.[37]
Other projects
[edit]In July 2012, Trimble participated in the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony, singing "Caliban's Dream", a song written by Underworld's Rick Smith.[38] Trimble revealed in an interview that filmmaker Danny Boyle, who had been commissioned as the event's "ceremony chief",[38] had selected the singer for the role to sing at the ceremony.[citation needed]
Alex Trimble has also worked with Anteros on the making of their debut album as the second producer.
In December 2023, Trimble co-wrote Ariel Pink's song "Rudolph's Laptop", about the Hunter Biden laptop controversy, with Pink and ex-Mumford & Sons guitarist/banjoist Winston Marshall.[39]
