It would be something of an understatement to describe this period of inactivity as a hiatus, as that does not truly justify the extent of their toils: hospitalisation, depression, and alcoholism. In keeping with successful rock band tradition, they found themselves plagued by a myriad of personal issues. One might consider it apt to continue this trajectory further, but Beacon was actually released four years ago. Though their debut effort, Tourist History, proved equally as rich in quality, the band were now the headliners as opposed to the supporting act. Debuting at number one on the Irish Albums Chart and number two on the UK Albums Chart, Beacon was certified gold shortly after its release, serving as the band’s first taste of gritty chart success. Full details for the tour, as well as their performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live can be found below.Two Door Cinema Club’s sophomoric record, Beacon, garnered rapturous critical acclaim, catapulting the Irish trio into the breadths of stardom and cult iconography alike. Two Door Cinema Club are wrapping up their North American shows at the end of the year before coming to the U.K in early 2017.
Frontman Alex Trimble promises that the new album will stand out among the rest of the pop scene, saying that this time the band is "not embracing the pop that’s going on now in a melodic or structural sense.” Trimble says that Gameshow instead draws inspiration from figures like the late Prince and Bowie, calling them "both total pioneers who straddled that line between out-there pop and avant garde craziness.” It's been a long time coming, as this is the first album since 2012's Beacon. With strong strobe lights to match the track's unforgettable dance beat, the band made it clear that they were back in the game.
Earlier this week, Two Door Cinema Club performed the title track of their new album, Gameshow on the late-night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live.
