About us


We are I AM THE DOOR from Bristol, England. Our debut album ‘Frequency’ was released in October 2006. After picking up pace through constant touring of the country for the last three years, two members of the band decided to call it day leaving the Percival brothers; Justin and Alex with a lot of soul searching. However, people have always known that optimism and perseverance are key ingredients in success. Hence the old saying: “If at first you don’t succeed; try and try again”.

Justin met guitarist Will Slater in February 2008 after seeing an advert he had posted on the 'Bristolrocks' website. Justin and Will arranged to meet for a jam not quite knowing what to expect of each other.

“I had been up all night at a party and was feeling rubbish! Justin came over and we started jamming and I just started feeling better!” The chemistry was there, and soon, ‘All We Have Are Ghosts’ was born out of that first meeting.

Something was still missing though. Justin, Will and Alex advertised for a bass player, and after a few disastrous auditions we met James Williams. The line-up was complete!

I AM THE DOOR recorded a demo in June 2008 to showcase the direction they are heading with the new line up.

“It is hard to believe we only started playing together in March 2008, I guess things move quickly when you’re all pushing in the same direction.”

What makes I AM THE DOOR special are the friendships formed and the passion for making music we love. “We all slept on the floor at a mates flat in London, there was a lot of partying and it was a chance to bond. But we were always on time for the studio playing our hearts out”.

I AM THE DOOR have been on a humble but steadfast mission to change the music in a positive way since 2004. They mounted their campaign the old-fashioned way – by loading up a van and taking it to every town that would have them. So look out for us coming to your town!
