About The Early November
The Early November is an American rock band from New Jersey. The group formed in 2001 and signed with Drive-Thru Records in 2002. As of 2024, they have released two EPs — For All of This and The Acoustic EP — and seven full-length albums: The Room's Too Cold , The Mother, the Mechanic, and the Path , In Currents , Imbue , Lilac , Twenty , and The Early November .
The band was formed in 2001 by singer and guitarist Ace Enders, drummer Jeff Kummer, and bassist Sergio Anello in Hammonton, New Jersey. Together, they recorded a five-track demo in Enders' basement and sent it, along with a poorly edited videotape to only one label, Drive-Thru Records.
The band got in touch with Drive-Thru founder Richard Reines, who agreed to meet with the band to give advice. Upon returning to California, Reines discussed a possible signing with Drive-Thru co-owner Stefanie Reines. A few weeks later, Drive-Thru signed The Early November and placed them on 2002's Skate and Surf Fest and the Vans Warped Tour.
Before the recording of their debut EP For All of This, the band added an additional guitarist, John Dubitsky. The EP was released on Drive-Thru Records in December 2002. Enders recorded The Acoustic EP on his own, featuring acoustic versions of songs off their debut EP, releasing it two months later. Simultaneously, guitarist Joseph Marro joined the band in exchange for Dubitsky.
Throughout 2003, the band continued to tour and write songs in preparation for their first full-length album The Room's Too Cold, which was released in fall of that year. The album debuted at #1 on Billboard Top Heatseekers and #107 on the Billboard 200.
Soon afterwards, Enders recorded a solo record under the name I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business. The album was almost scrapped due to Enders wanting to focus on The Early November.
During the recording process of their triple album, The Mother, The Mechanic, The Path, guitar tech Bill Lugg joined the band as a third guitarist.
