Curtain rises again for Two Door Cinema Club

SUCCESS can be a double-edged sword: just ask Two Door Cinema Club.

When their first two albums - Tourist History (2010) and Beacon (2012) - turned the trio of frontman Alex Trimble, guitarist Sam Halliday and bassist Kevin Baird into indie pop sensations, the pressure of promoting the records and relentless touring took its toll on the Irish band and caused it to implode.

By 2014, things had gotten so bad that the three could no longer be in the same room with each other, let alone share the same stage. Going their separate ways was the only solution for the curtain not to come down on Two Door Cinema Club.
