Exclusive: Two Door Cinema Club promise "bigger" new album

Two Door Cinema Club have revealed that they are experimenting with a bigger sound for their second studio album.

The 'What You Know' band played the In New Music We Trust stage at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Carlisle earlier today.

Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy following their eight-song set, lead guitarist Sam Halliday explained that the band are looking to write epic pop songs for the follow-up to 2010's Tourist History.

He said: "It's going [to sound] bigger. The first album's great in the sense that it's small pop songs that are fun and we don't want to move away from that, but at the same time you've got to progress.

"We want bigger riffs, more anthemic songs and bigger melodies. We just want to experiment. I feel a lot of our songs on the first album are similar in structure... So we just want to experiment and find new stuff."

The band's bassist Kevin Baird added: "You know - If you want to play stadiums then you've got to write stadium songs."

Two Door Cinema Club's set list was as follows:

'Cigarettes In The Theatre'
'Undercover Martyn'
'Do You Want It All?'
'Something Good Can Work'
'This Is The Life'
'Eat That Up, It's Good For You'
'Come Back Home'
'I Can Talk'
