KingBathmat are a powered up independent/psychedelic/progressive/alternative rock band, hailing from Hastings in England. Initially started by singer/songwriter John Bassett, the band have now independently released five albums to date “Son of a Nun” (2003), “Crowning Glory” (2004), “Fantastic Freak Show Carnival”(2005), Blue Sea, Black Heart (2008) and Gravity Field (2009). The 3 piece band comprises of John Bassett (bass,vocals), Lee Sulsh (guitar) and Bernie Smirnoff (drums).

The musical style of KingBathmat is difficult to ascertain, pin down or pigeon hole and does not sit comfortably in any particular category of music. Often described in reviews as an amalgamation of numerous bands e.g. "the sound of Pink Floyd wrestling with Kasabian", "Black Sabbath cuddled by extravagant ELO harmonies". It is clear that a bewildering array of influences produce a sound on record that circumnavigates the gamut of genres that reside upon this musical sphere.
KingBathmat can resemble at times, a sonic expedition, a giddy aural excursion, visiting genres as diverse and contrary as the complex arrangements that inhabit "progressive rock" interlaced with the cutting vocal melodies of "classic pop" that then tear abruptly into an uncompromising sledgehammer heavy metal riff. A big old slice of distraction cake served with a buttercream filling of abstract and arcane lyrics on a bed of layered vocal harmonies that weave a centrally focused melodic core that lays a strong foundation under each and everyone of their musical emanations, leaving the listener to ponder "Is it an exquisite ornate Faberge Egg or a crumpled up papier mache ball encrusted in moomin juice?"

KingBathmat do not align themselves with convention, they have ditched the giblet hustlers and they endeavour to buck the trend and to not take themselves too seriously. For they do not look for, or court approval. KingBathmat are not beholding to a record company, a debt, or a self proposed obligation. They do what they want.
And so onto late 2011 and the further obscuring of reality continues with the fortnightly sacrifice of solar biscuits into the fizzy pop of culture to hopefully create a benevolent effervescence with the release of free songs upon this website throughout 2012.

Forgotten Door is a 6 piece original band with a unique new sound tailored to those who enjoy songs they can understand and relate to. 
Johndale and Lonnie began performing together as a duo in 1994. With the addition of Melody they became a trio. These three became the core of a coverband called Xpressions. They played various corporate and personal functions throughout the Las Vegas area. Their true aspiration, however, came from writing and performing their original songs. With a new name, additional band members and a new outlook, Forgotten Door makes the "magic" happen.

Dean Lambert was born and raised with music. Since his birth bands like the Beatles, Queen and the Rolling Stones were present through his parents. While growing up his personal taste for music was formed. Firsts CDs were bought. Even Michael Jacksons "History" and – for sure - „Bravo Hits“. After a while the first electronic experiences with hardcore, happy hardcore and schranz were made. The love for deep basses and electronic sounds was discovered. At that time Dean also discovered a little programm called „Ejay Dance“. First beats were made. Unfortunately he lost his interest very fast.

Friends made him discover more music heavy on guitarsound like Nirvana, Metallica, Slipknot a. s. o.. They formed an alternative-band in 2005 called „BackBenches“ where Dean Lambert was playing the bass-guitar for 2 years. That time they recorded the EP „Turn off Thinking“. Nevertheless his love for bass and electronic music never left his mind. In 2007 Dean left the „BackBenches“ and paused making music till 2009. One day he watched the movie „Berlin Calling“. The film inspired Dean in that way that there was a need to keep busy with producing beats and drums. In 2009 he created minimal-electronic tracks with Magix Music Maker 12.

2010 Dean realized, that fixing samples was not his fulfillment of dreams and through some influences he installed Steinbergs Cubase on his PC. He started some experiments with minimal, electro, techno, trance and chillout, even with classical instruments like strings, piano and flute and combined these with electronic beats and sounds. Also in 2010 Dean signed on the netlabel „digiloco records“. Meanwhile they released 2 maxi-records. The first „masquerade“ is more electronic, the second „unbending“ more chillout/soundtrack. Since his last release Dean worked for his debutalbum "Dean Lambert - False 'N' Right" only, which was released on 23rd decembre 2010 on „digiloco records“. In May 2011 a remix-EP was planed, but it fell through.
April 2011 digiloco records liquidated and Dean left.
