'The Early November' is a rock band from Hammonton, New Jersey. They are signed to Drive-Thru Records.
History
The band was formed by guitarists Arthur 'Ace' Enders and Jim, bassist Sergio Anello and drummer Jeff Kummer in Hammonton, New Jersey in 2001. Together, they recorded a 5 track demo in Ace's basement and sent it, along with a poorly edited videotape to only one label: Drive-Thru Records.
A couple of months passed while both Jim and Sergio had to budge for more skilled replacements, Steve Nakovich (guitar) and Mike Klemash (bass), until the band got in touch with Richard Reines of Drive-Thru, who luckily was visiting their hometown and agreed to meet with the band to give advice. Stunned by what he had heard, Richard returned to California to discuss a possible signing with Drive-Thru co-owner Stefanie Reines. A few weeks and yet another line-up change later (Joe Marro joined for Steve), Drive-Thru signed The Early November and put them, despite their practically non-existent on stage experience, on 2002's Skate and Surf Fest and on selected dates of the Warped Tour.
Mike and Joe left the band before the recording of their debut EP For All Of This. Sergio re-joined on bass, while a temporary second guitarist was found in John Dubitsky. The CD came out on Drive-Thru Records in early November 2002. Ace recorded The Acoustic EP on his own, featuring acoustic versions of most songs off their debut EP, which was released a mere two months later. Simultaneously, guitarist Joe Marro had re-joined the band in exchange for John.
Throughout 2003, the band continued to tour and write songs in preparation for their first full-length CD The Room's Too Cold, which was released in fall of that year. Soon afterwards, Ace recorded a solo record under the name I Can Make A Mess Like Nobody's Business. The CD was almost scrapped due to Ace wanting to focus on The Early November after Jeff left the band in summer 2004 and re-joined two weeks later.
During the recording process of their sophomore full-length, which is set for release in March 2006, guitar tech Bill Lugg joined the band as a third guitarist.
