According to Hot Press' Edwin McFee, "the Bangor trio’s brilliance at crafting fiendishly catchy, super-slick slices of indie-pop" on new album Keep On Smiling.
The record recaptures what originally propelled the group into the mainstream consciousness, and a legacy as one of the UK’s most enduring and beloved bands.

"What’s more, their fifth album is one of their very best. Serving as something of a riposte to their Choice-winning 2010 debut Tourist History, Keep On Smiling is every bit the sonic tonic we’d hoped for. Driven by an aim to dance away the heartache, the record is crammed with meticulously assembled floor-fillers."
Adopting a freer, more collaborative approach to the creative process it was written and produced by the band both during and coming out of lockdown, with additional production from Jacknife Lee and Dan Grech Marguerat.
The album saw the band cement a global following and they have since produced a hat-trick of records of equal merit and success: 2012's Beacon, Gameshow (2016) and 2019's False Alarm - each scoring Top 10 positions in the official charts of the UK.
Two Door Cinema Club are also heading to The Telegraph Building in Belfast this April.
