Opting for the latter, the band released a self-funded debut EP entitled Four Words to Stand On in 2009. Having met at school, the band began performing as Two Door Cinema Club, a mispronunciation of Tudor Cinema Club in their hometown, in 2007 and soon faced a difficult decision - to continue their education or choose to pursue a career in music. Sharing both vocal and musical duties, the trio were initially influenced by the melodic rock of acts such as Death Cab for Cutie and Modest Mouse. Hailing from Bangor and Donaghdee in Northern Ireland, the three piece consists of Alex Trimble, Sam Halliday and Kevin Baird. We’re not just Two Door Cinema Club as defined by what we’ve done, we’re Two Door Cinema Club doing whatever we want to do.With their unique brand of electro pop rock, Two Door Cinema Club have found a legion of fans in the UK, Ireland, America and beyond. It’s so exciting because there are no limits anymore. We’re putting together the live show right now. It all makes for a wide-eyed, culture-encompassing leap forward for the band, a record liable to break, ruin and remould pop in 2019.įrontman Alex explains ‘We’re trying to create a new world for this record to exist in, and we want that to go everywhere from the music videos, the artwork, the live show. Recorded in sessions between London and LA with producer Jacknife Lee (U2, REM, The Killers), it’s an LP that takes the familiar and twists it, to startling and stimulating effect. Out June 14th, and the band’s first album to be released in full collaboration with Prolifica Inc, ‘False Alarm’ finds the band gloriously unshackled and creatively instinctive, scanning and satirising the social and environmental woes of 2019 and beyond through the prism of wonderfully off-kilter pop, simultaneously borrowing from and warping elements of future pop, disco, rock, funk and soul. The tour will take in shows in Cardiff, Hull and Plymouth, alongside multiple shows scheduled for O2 Academy Glasgow and O2 Victoria Warehouse in Manchester – full list of dates below. Support for that show comes from Tom Grennan.

The tour will see the Bangor three piece make a landmark return to London’s O2 Arena on October 11th.
