All signs point to Nightbox as the most likely successors to Two Door Cinema’s Club’s worldwide ubiquity. It’s not hard to draw comparisons. Both make tight, danceable indie-pop with catchy choruses, both are Irish, both are signed to French label Kitsuné. Nightbox are a band from Wicklow based in Toronto. They’ve got production on their first single ‘Pyramid’ by members of MSTRKFT and Death From Above 1979 and that can only help things.
Find out for yourself when Nightbox play their first Irish shows on August 30th in The Academy 2, Dublin ( €12.45 plus fees) or September 1st Roisin Dubh, Galway.

Def worth seeing for that price. Sounds like they have a good career ahead. I see the comparisons with Two Door Cinema club, can’t see them making as much of an impact though.

Waaay agree. Nightbox is good but they sound SO much like Two Door Cinema Club…a knock-off even. Kowalski has their own sound. I wish more people would like them…
They’re good…but they aren’t Two Door Cinema Club. Actually, they pretty much are which takes away the cool-ness of the music because when they sound this similar they are knock-offs. I began loving Two Door Cinema Club because they had this really cool and interesting sound that I had never heard before. It’s not as refreshing to hear it again and not as fun. I think this band is very good, I’m not saying they’re bad, I just don’t see them progressing further than a few hits on youtube.
