Can you tell me a bit about the album’s themes and what sort of things the album addresses?

Gameshow is out tomorrow (Friday 14th October) in Australia. We spoke to Sam about the album and why a break was vital to the ongoing success of Two Door Cinema Club. Revitalised after a much-needed break from the rigours of the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle, frontman Alex Trimble, bassist Kevin Baird and guitarist Sam Halliday have reunited to release their third album, Gameshow. Being stuck in an exhausting cycle of recording, touring and promoting for four years had taken its toll, both physically and mentally, and the trio’s relationship was strained.įast forward to today, and it’s an entirely different story.

The band originally from Northern Ireland was forced to curtail their 2014 tour (including, memorably, Splendour in the Grass) due to illness, which only compounded the feelings of frustration and discontent that had beset them. It’s been a testing few years for Two Door Cinema Club.
