After a year apart, the band decided to start a long-distance relationship and wrote their album “ Gameshow ” over Skype.

During this time, Trimble, Halliday and Baird went their separate ways to find themselves and regain inner peace, dabbling in everything from love to drugs to yoga. In 2014, the band went on an extended break due to tension between members and prolonged stress from life on tour. The trio’s 2010 debut album, “ Tourist History ,” received widespread acclaim for their hit songs “ What You Know ,” “ Undercover Martyn ” and “ Something Good Can Work. While the album doesn’t deviate from previous records or dive too far into deeper topics, it provides a synthy, summery soundtrack perfect for driving with the windows down.īandmates Alex Trimble, Sam Halliday and Kevin Baird met in their hometown of Bangor, Northern Ireland, and chose their band name off of the mispronunciation of a local cinema, Tudor Cinema. Their new album, “ Keep On Smiling ,” gives listeners everything they need to savor the end of the summer and to put it simply, keep on smiling. There’s something about Two Door Cinema Club that evokes the excitement and joy of a joyride on a warm summer day.
