After taking time to recharge, they came back as furious as ever, with Trimble flashing his falsetto all over the glammed-up, funk-powered, Bee Gees-inspired boogies of 2016’s Gameshow. But all that motion was taking its toll: “We as a band were beginning to crumble,” they admitted to Apple Music. Their 2010 debut album, Tourist History, bursts at the seams with pensive confessions disguised as infectious club anthems, including indie hit “What You Know” and the aforementioned “Something Good Can Work.” The trio then went into overdrive, bringing their tight, dynamic live shows across the world and quickly dropping sophomore album Beacon in 2012.

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. In the following years, they have become a frequent sight at festivals like Reading and Leeds Festival and Glastonbury.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.

Their fourth album False Alarm released on 21 June 2019 and featured the singles "Satellite" and "Talk". Two more singles, "Bad Decisions" and the title track "Gameshow" were released prior to the album and are also included on the track list. The first single, " Are We Ready? (Wreck)" was released on 14 June 2016 and was debuted on Annie Mac's Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1. The band's third album Gameshow was released on 14 October 2016. The band's second album Beacon was released on 3 September 2012, debuted at number one on the Irish Albums Chart and reached number two in the UK Albums Chart.

Tourist History was selected for the Choice Music Prize for Irish Album of the Year (2010) the following year. In the United States, where the band are signed to Glassnote Records, the album was released on 27 April 2010. The band's debut album, Tourist History, was released on 1 March 2010 by French independent record label Kitsuné Music.
