Two Door Cinema Club formed in Bangor, County Down, in 2007, and they have kept the lineup lean ever since: Alex Trimble singing and handling rhythm guitar, beats and synths, Sam Halliday on lead guitar, Kevin Baird on bass and synths, with Halliday and Baird chipping in harmonies. The Four Words to Stand On EP put "Undercover Martyn" into circulation in 2008, and the French indie Kitsuné took them on for Tourist History, released in March 2010, with Glassnote handling it in the States.

It is a sugar rush of a debut. Halliday's guitar lines skitter and chime as if they were wired to a metronome, the rhythm section keeps shoving everything toward the dancefloor, and "What You Know" and "I Can Talk" still sound like the best night out of 2010. The album landed on the shortlist for Ireland's Choice Music Prize.

Beacon went broader and moodier in 2012, with "Sleep Alone" and "Sun", and opened at number one in Ireland and number two in the UK. Gameshow in 2016 came out weirder and glossier, with "Are We Ready? (Wreck)" and "Bad Decisions" sent out ahead of it. False Alarm followed in 2019 and Keep On Smiling in 2022 on Lower Third, while Reading and Leeds and Glastonbury have become regular stops.
