 Doors To Nowhere are most probably a band that will not be on the musical radar for those of us hailing from outside of California. The band is currently unsigned and is the brainchild of ex-Live Wire guitarist Marc Lewis, and this eight track EP comes highly recommended by yours truly.
‘Dinner Time For Tweeks’, the EP opener, explodes with a three minute slab of 80’s hardcore punk and the influence of landmark Californian bands such as Bl’ast and Black Flag are referenced, but most in importantly, not reproduced. Next up the six-minute epic that is, ‘Is You Is’ which is by far the longest track on the EP, and also where Doors To Nowhere cement themselves as a very versatile band. The blend of hardcore punk and metal is met with an acoustic breakdown after the three minute mark, with stunning female harmonising, only to break down even further into a lengthy guitar solo layered over the top of the tracks main riff. Title track, ‘I’m Alive’ explores the frustrations of everyday life, while ‘Regrets and Lies’ carries on in the same vein, channelling the themes of love, joy, sorrow and anger. The tongue in cheek titled ‘Emo Kids Hate Epics’, sees the band explore the fuzzed out desert rock roots of their Californian neighbours. The thought provoking title of ‘Is There A Hero Inside All of Us?’ meanwhile is layered with bluesy classic rock, whilst maintaining the bands edgy attitude, setting Doors To Nowhere apart from similar bands coming out of the underground Californian scene. The EP finishes with ‘Farewell To Light’ and Marc Lewis taking out his frustrations of what has gone before, while looking positively towards the future. Hailing from Santa Cruz, California it would be easy for Doors To Nowhere to become clones of the legendary bands around them, from the desert rock influences of Fatso Jetson and Yawning Man to the hardcore punk of Bl’ast and LAB. Instead, Doors To No Where take the lethal cocktail of hardcore punk, desert rock and metal and turn it into a sound all of their own, while injecting their own life experiences with ferocious energy and passion. |

Benefit Dinner/Concert with Doors To No Where
Jul 6, 2010 Interviews
Hey guys, our friend and co-worker Jason was recently diagnosed with Cancer and is unable to work due to heavy chemotherapy sessions and recovery times. We have been trying to raise money for him at work so he’s got one less thing to worry about.
Saturday July 10th, from 6pm-8pm if you come in for dinner, a big part of that money goes to Jason. After dinner, we’re gunna do a little raffle and have some live music provided by Automatic Animal, DOORS TO NO WHERE, and Vincents Ear!
Come Drink, Eat and Rock for a great cause. It would really mean a lot to Jason, his friends/family and the band if you could show up and help out any way you can. Help spread the word please. Awesome. Thank you!
