The three childhood friends from Bangor, Northern Ireland were not long out of school when they recorded debut LP ‘Tourist History’. There’s no doubt Two Door’s rise was pretty sharp, with little time to take stock. “That’s just what comes with spending five years locked up in a little box together.” We’d had enough,” frontman Alex admits of their unplanned hiatus. “By the end of the last touring cycle, we just didn’t want to be around each other at all. So where the hell have Two Door Cinema Club been? It’s turning out to be a busy year for a band that hadn’t played live for two years until a few months ago - or released an album for four. This summer Two Door Cinema Club will continue their current festival circuit across the States before heading across Europe and then to Asia, playing gigs in Malaysia, South Korea, Thailand and Japan over the coming months. One thing is for sure: the anticipation for Gameshow is already building, and “Are We Ready” is a sign in the right direction.Įnjoy the track below, and head to their website for upcoming tour dates, and updates.Alex Trimble is halfway across the world, locked in a tour bus that’s been driving overnight from Kansas City to Columbus, Ohio.

‘Are We Ready? (Wreck)’ was me… not attacking the world around me but outlining why I don’t really get it and why I don’t fit in with it.” The fact that it was a fully coined term and related to so many people that have existed and do exist made me feel it was okay to not exist on the same level as everyone else, it was okay to be comfortable doing your own thing. “While I was writing this song I discovered this term weltschmertz, the German word for being at odds with the world around you. Amongst the charisma and positivity of the music, the song’s meaning carries a bit of baggage. With their signature, slick, dance floor groove, and vibrant indie pop energy, “Are We Ready” is a familiar taste that many fans of TDCC will be pleased to hear. Gameshow will be the band’s third full-length, and to help ease the wait, Two Door Cinema Club have shared their latest single “Are We Ready (Wreck)”. Their last release came in the shape of 2013’s Changing of the Seasons EP, but have recently announced a full-length album will be released October 14th. Indie pop band Two Door Cinema Club took some time off over the past three years due to some health complications with lead singer Alex Trimble.
