Two Door Cinema Club have unveiled their eagerly anticipated new single "Are We Ready? (Wreck)" - the first new music from the band since 2013's 'Changing Of The Seasons EP!'

The jittery, future funk barrage is an electrifying opening salvo from a newly re-energised Two Door Cinema Club and is the first taste from their forthcoming album 'Gameshow!'

This is by far Two Door Cinema Club's most enthralling record yet, albeit one full of the uncertainties of finding yourself and your place in the world. The album is available to pre-order now.

Perfectly marrying the band's pop sensibilities and hooks with a continued sonic invention, it's a real statement of intent and a bridge to introduce their dedicated fan base to Two Door v2.0 – it's a sound that's ambitious, but never alienating - off kilter, but always danceable. "Are We Ready? (Wreck)" perfectly shows Alex Trimble's growth as a songwriter and lyricist, eloquently encapsulating the so-called "information generation's" uncomfortable relationship with elements of modern life and the intensifying societal pressure to engage with the brain-frying online whirlpool.

Having spent the whole of their adult lives in each other's pockets on a grueling 'record-tour-promote' treadmill, the three school friends from Bangor, Northern Ireland took a self-imposed break from band life. Giving themselves space to discover their individual identities outside the band, they all realised that for Two Door Cinema Club to have any future they needed space to alleviate the increasing passive aggressive tensions within it and battle their various demons. Dispersing to their homes around the world - Portland for Alex, Los Angeles for Kevin Baird and London for Sam Halliday - the band initially began to exchange thoughts and ideas that had excited them during their break over email. Sketches of tracks and ideas being openly discussed, pulled apart and reassembled from three corners of the world, and with the air cleared, the band reconvened in LA with renowned producer Jacknife Lee (REM, U2, Bloc Party) to get in a room together and record the album.
 
Re-energised by their self-imposed hiatus, Gameshow is the sound of a band back in their stride, with a creative fire in their loins and a whole new centred sense of purpose. They've been to the brink, they've had their inertia. Now for the action.
