The FIFA game franchise has a reputation for including incredible indie songs on their soundtrack and, once again, have exceeded our expectations.
Two Door Cinema Club’s Are We Ready? (Wreck) will feature on the FIFA17 playlist. This is the third time the band will appear on the game. Their single I Can Talk was featured on the soundtrack of FIFA 11 and Sleep Alone appears on FIFA 13.
The song seems to be focussed on the world engrained in social media. During an interview with NME, Guitarist Sam Halliday described the lyrics as a ‘rebelling against consumerism’. Although therefore perhaps slightly ironic to be featured on an upcoming association football video game, we at ICM love the song and are ecstatic for the band to be included on a legendary soundtrack, once again.
Are We Ready (Wreck) will also be included on the band’s third album, Gameshow, which is due for release on October 14, via Parlophone.
Two Door Cinema Club have since released their new single, Bad Decisions, and plan to tour Europe in 2017.
