Taking cues from indie-pop darlings like Phoenix and Foals, the band soon found their sweet spot, spiking playful melodies with punchy post-punk rhythms and sing-along choruses. In 2007, they rebranded as Two Door Cinema Club (a name inspired by the local Tudor Cinema) and decided to skip university to polish up their fidgety dance-punk demos. The trio had been honing that sound since they were teens, when singer/guitarist/programmer Alex Trimble, lead guitarist Sam Halliday, and bassist Kevin Baird formed the band Life Without Rory in Bangor, Northern Ireland.
Since debuting with 2009’s joyous, jangly “Something Good Can Work,” Two Door Cinema Club have served as a high-energy antidote to, well, life with their bright electro-pop anthems.
