Together for two years, but old chums from school, TDCC released their first EP in 2008, entitled 'Four Words To Stand On', available only in Ireland and selling out straight away, alluding to greater things beyond their Irish home. March 2009 sees the release of the band’s debut UK single 'Something Good Can Work' via Kitsune. Produced by Lexx, (Bjork, Little Boots), the band's sound is often compared to the likes of The Postal Service, Vampire Weekend and Broken Social Scene - huge soaring guitars and big vocal harmonies over crisp electronic drum beats. http://www.clashmusic.com/artists/two-door-cinema-clubMixing electronic polish with guitar-driven hooks à la Phoenix and the Postal Service, Bangor and Donaghadee, Northern Ireland's Two Door Cinema Club feature singer/guitarist/programmer Alex Trimble, guitarist/singer Sam Halliday, and bassist/singer Kevin Baird. Trimble and Halliday met in school, and met Baird through mutual friends. The trio began playing as Two Door Cinema Club in 2007 and skipped going to university to focus on the band. Fortunately, the gamble paid off -- the band's debut EP, Four Words to Stand On, was released in January 2009 by the hip French label Kitsuné to positive reviews and music blog buzz, which grew with the release of April's single "Something Good Can Work." That summer, Two Door Cinema Club recorded their debut album in London's Eastcote Studios with Eliot James, which they mixed with producer Phillipe Zdar in Paris that fall. The group's remixes of Phoenix's "Lasso" and Chew Lips' "Salt Air" also appeared that year, and by 2009's end, the group was among the acts featured in the BBC Sound of 2010 Poll. Another single, "Undercover Martyn," arrived in January 2010, shortly before the band's first full-length Tourist History was released. (-) collapse
