Biography and Analysis: Two Door Cinema Club

Two Door Cinema Club are 3 people with the help of technology and a thirst for anything quirky. If you were to pose the question, “Where do Two Door Cinema Club live?” and someone was to answer, “Why, Bangor!” That someone would only be 66.67% correct because Two Door Cinema Club are a Bangor/Donaghadee based electro pop band. An obvious absence in the rhythm department is humbly filled by an unadulterated Macintosh and the electronic thump from the fourth imperceptible member goes hand in hand with the electro/pop direction. Their music has been loosely compared to the likes of Death Cab for Cutie and Broken Social Scene but without a definitive capacity to be pigeon-holed. Melodic vocals, which hail from all three members of the outfit, infuse with guitar riffs that have been described as “oceanic” and rhythm described as “pulsing”. To get the symbolism out of the way, take your seats; it’s going to be a blockbuster!

This biography is still informative, but it is not entirely serious and indicates that it is more interested in displaying the complete quirkyness and fun side of the band. "Take your seats; it's going to be a blockbuster!" further enforces this and attracts the audience into listening to the band as it seems like it is preparing them for something spectacular. It is clear that the target audience for this biography is probably teenagers or young adults who don't take things so seriously, as conveyed by the informal mode of address.
