The Early November

The Early November are a five-piece emo/post-hardcore band from Hammonton, New Jersey that formed in 2001. Shortly after forming, they ended up getting signed to Drive-Thru Records, releasing two EP's and a full-length with them between 2002 and 2003 alone. This was followed up with the ambitious The Mother, The Mechanic, And The Path, a three-disc concept album. In the year following its release, the band went on hiatus. They reunited in 2011, and have been steadily active ever since, putting out new material via Rise and Pure Noise Records. 

Admittedly, I don't know a ton about this band or listen to them all too often, though their first full-length and EP are solid, and "Ever So Sweet" is an absolute standout, whether it be the album, acoustic, or live version. I know this band gets a ton of requests, so figured there is no better time to get this post done then now, in early November. If you are completely new to them, fans of bands including Saves The Day, The Starting Line, The Get Up Kids, Taking Back Sunday or Jets To Brazil might take interest in here. Think driving guitars with melodic yet melancholic intonations, and a heavy emphasis on singer/guitarist Ace Enders' songwriting. He's also been active with a solo project, I Can Make A Mess Like Nobody's Business, which has been concurrent with The Early November for nearly their entire career. Enjoy.
