Third
Door BIO
1998 - 2000
Third Door, a modern rock trio originating from
Holly Pond, Alabama,
was formed in March of 1998. The band members included Jason McBrayer,
21 - lead vocals and bass, Shane Scott 22 - lead guitar and backup
vocals, and Justin Oliver 22 - Drums. All three have been very
good friends since childhood, this close bond is displayed in
their music and performances. Third Door has been described as
a small town band with a big sound. Their music was moderately
tempoed rock, focusing on melody, with a pop hook. The idea for
the name Third Door surfaced while the three were rehearsing in
a small makeshift area behind the third door of McBrayer's garage
in Holly Pond. "Neighbors would sit out in their yards and listen
to us," Scott told the Birmingham news, "Friends would hear us
about a mile down the road... Now we see crowds out there singing
'Little Crazy' and it's a really good feeling." Rehearsals in
the garage eventually led to performances on the road. The trio
made waves beginning in 1998 with their Wheelbarrow Tour performing
at venues throughout the south, ranging from universities and
clubs to fish fry's and cheerleading camps. After a successful
road tour the band decided to record. Not having access to a professional
studio didn't prevent the band from using their talent and ingenuity
to create a ready for release CD. The band pooled their resources
and transformed Scott's small apartment living room into a recording
studio where their debut CD "Apartment 82" was born and shortly
thereafter the record label "Playroom Records". "We had limited
funds but the drive to produce our own unique sound pushed us
over the top", Oliver said. That unique sound includes 10 tracks,
all written and produced by the members of the band. A crowd favorite
is 'Little Crazy' a song that recently caught the attention of
Teen People readers in a nationwide contest sponsored
by the magazine and Warner Brothers Records. Inspired by Scott's
admiration of Sarah Michelle Gellar, an actress on the TV series
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer", 'Little Crazy' has a chorus
that says "I might be a little crazy/ to think of you as my baby/
Just call me a little crazy/ 'cause I see you as my baby". Other
favorites includes "Overcoming Disbelief", "Tattoos and Hairdos"
and "Garbage Under your Sink."
