This band from Northern Ireland is abolutely awesome. Their (still untitled) debut studio album will be out in February, but they have had a few EP's out already creating a very loyal following. www.myspace.com/twodoorcinemaclub"Something Good Can Work" and "Cigarettes in the Theatre" are AMAZING. They sound like a happier, upbeat Death Cab.

Yeah, definitely!!!! I've been playing "I Can Talk" and "Undercover Martyn" nonstop for a while now. I really like this band. Since they are part of the Kitsune label, they also have a bunch of great remixes too.
Here's one of my favorite remixes:

The album is called Tourist History. It's out in a week and it's really, really strong. Yeah, a lot of the songs sound similar, but it doesn't matter because they're still on-point. Not only are the songs jamworthy, but the lyrics are solid.
Here's the next single, "Undercover Martyn," which is out next week. I really like it, much mellower than "I Can Talk."

"Undercover Martyn" sounds great. I'll have to check this whole album out when I get some time.

I'm listening to the record now. It's nice! I wasn't expecting it to be this poppy, but I'm really loving it.

I had no idea they did "Something Can Work"! I heard it on the Kitsune compilation last year and thought it was alright, but the new remix on the album is so much better!

Just downloaded the album. This is REALLY good.
It does kind of all blend together. I'm hoping with more listens the tracks will start to stand out more individually. "Something Good Can Work" is still my favorite and I agree with David that the version on the album is better than the earlier one.
"Come Back Home" is sounding good too!

Just saw the video for "I Can Talk" on one of the MTV channels. I was really surprised to see it there!

"Eat That Up, It's Good For You" is the free single of the week on British iTunes. I like it a lot more than "Undercover Martyn".

One of my friends works at Jack Wills and they constantly play their music in that store. As a result, they did some concert for the store and my friend met them and hung out with them a few times. They're apparently really down to earth and modest about any buzz they receive.

Here's hoping "What You Want" finally breaks them out into the mainstream.

Now that "What You Know" is an official hit, I really think they should consider re-releasing some of their earlier singles. Those songs were as good, if not better than WYK, but just had no exposure.
I vote for "Something Good" followed by "Undercover Martyn."
