Description: The principals of the Early November were youthful enough to have grown up with the Drive-Thru Records sound, a formula that incorporates sensitive emo, pop, and punk revivalist amalgams with a bit of post-hardcore grit. The boys in the band first came out of the box in 2000, fighting to secure shows in their busy south Jersey scene, and hoping to land a deal with Drive-Thru. One way or another, their wish came true. Label figureheads RichardStefanie Reines signed vocalist/guitarist "Ace" (Arthur) Enders, bassist Sergio Anello, drummer Jeff Kummer, and guitarist Joseph Marro in early 2002 on the strengths of their demo and a solid /MP3.com buzz, and by November 2002 the band had made their label debut with the For All of This E.P. Promising appearances on the Warped Tour's Drive-Thru stage that summer spread the word, and by 2003 anticipation for an Early November full-length was brimming. Room's Too Cold dropped in October 2003. It was a particularly lush take on the Drive-Thru sound, with strings and ballads and a focus on the rich vocal presence of Enders. While recording their sophomore follow-up, TEN released a split EP with I Am the Avalanche, Vinnie Caruana's post-Movielife project.
