"Frequency Review"

Bristol quartet I AM THE DOOR have harnessed a rich sound full of layers and considered songwriting and in efforts like 'Shine Through' play like gloriuosly demented bastards while simultaneously supplying a right ol' anthemic chorus. Frontman Justin has quite some pipes too. A good British band worth investigating. - Rocksound Magazine


"Frequency Review"

I AM THE DOOR have clearly produced an album in 'Frequency' that lifts ideas from some great bands out there. One of the most striking things about this record is Justin Percival's piercing vocals. Percival manages to dance beautifully between emotionally charged choruses and grating screams. His talents are best displayed on songs 'Shine Through' and 'Something Beautiful'. 'Frequency' isn't an album that relies on catchy vocal melodies or repetitive guitar rifts to keep you interested though. A lot of thought has clearly been put into the song structures on this album and this clearly shows these weren't songs written for the sake of getting on the radio. 'Frequency' is a very solid collection of songs and definatley a breath of fresh air when compared to 90% of the other albums out there. I AM THE DOOR are clearly a talented bunch of lads and 'Frequency' deserves to propel them to greater things. - www.punktastic.com/reviews


"Frequency Review"

Its fantastic when the first track slides into view like it might be the bastard child of Muse and a howling jet engine. Far from pompous stadium stuff, the next forty minutes sound more like the circa survive, Thursday or any of the newer breed of forward thinking emotional bands. U2 would need humility implants, a week at rock 'n' roll band camp and a swift kick up the arse to sound this good. So there's a sparkling progressive quality to the material hear but on first listen none of it sounds like it could ever appeal to the casual rock 'n' roll fan, at least not like the behemoths above ever have. Just check the dizzying musical layers and myriad of emotions running through the plus 5 minutes of 'You Are', the dramatic submarine noises of 'Tomorrow Belings to Us' and is that a flock of seagulls squawking over the beginning of 'Why we Disappeared'?
But again, dig just a little deeper and there are swirling vocals that could swallow arenas whole. FM-friendly riffs and even a hint of the epic to closer 'Make Yourself Strong' which might mean that U2 influence came in handy after all. This is a band in its infancy but one with masses of promise. they currently lack truly memorable tunes, but I AM THE DOOR tout a sound that has room enough to grow into the best British thing for years. - www.new-noise.net/album-reviews/i-am-the-door

Bio

We are I AM THE DOOR from Bristol, England.

We have been on a humble but steadfast mission to change music in a positive way since 2004, mounting our campaign the old-fashioned way – by loading up the van and taking it to every town that would have us.

Our debut album ‘Frequency’ was released in October 2006 to critical acclaim from the British music press, and was proceeded by even more heavy touring.

In June 2008 we recorded a demo to showcase the direction the band is heading in leading up to the conception of album number two.

We are bonded by a passion for making music we love. Whether at band rehearsal, in the studio or on tour; we are always playing our hearts out.

So look out for us coming to your town, and give us big hello!
