I Am The Door
Dysfunctional Achievement (The Best of I Am The Door) ARC343
I|AM|THE|DOOR are a band defying stereotypes through a rare honesty and an intelligent and sensitive use of musical talent and expression.
Attempts at that terrible human affliction of pigeon-holing have led to I|AM|THE|DOOR being given various labels, most of which include the words punk and emo. However, on listening to their ever-expanding catalogue of music, it is apparent that there is a lot more to this band than labels.
Each member brings to the band a musical perspective of his own, and they combine to create a perfect fusion of the elements of punk, jazz, dance, metal, rock and pop.
Originally from Plymouth, they moved and settled in Bristol in 1998. The majority of these recordings were made in 2000.
