Two Door Cinema Club

The genre of the 'Come Back Home' by Two Door Cinema Club is known as "Indie" music. Often known as Independant music, shortened to indie music or "indie", is a term used to describe independence from major commercial record labels and an autonomous, Do-It-Yourself approach to recording and publishing.


The target audience for this kind of music is young adults that look for music further than whats in the radio charts on international radio, this genre is often found on Radio 1 or supporting more well known bands that are similar to this genre. Aside is the picture of what the people who listen to this genre of music would typically dress like.

However, with a new and innovative music video perhaps the stereotypical audience can be scrapped and the band can reach to new audiences that are intrigued by the video and the song and therefore investigate the band's other songs and videos thus creating a new fan!


Two Door Cinema Club are an alternative electropop band from Bangor and Donaghadee, Co. Down, Northern Ireland formed in 2007. They are signed to French record label Kitsuné Music, through which they released their debut album Tourist History on 1 March 2010. (Pictured Below)





The reasons behind the name of the album: the past couple of years they have become tourists – playing shows in different cities and countries every night – most of which they have never been to before. The town they're from, Bangor, was a big tourist town in the 60s/70s and so they grew up with that history too.
