Eight Gigs: The Early November

New Jersey indie rock band the Early November released its first EP, For All of This, in 2002, trailed by its debut full-length album, The Room's Too Cold, the following year. The band's pop-driven music led to its partnership with Drive-Thru Records during its earlier career. But 2007 brought on an “indefinite hiatus” that lasted roughly five years before the Early November began performing together again and signed with Rise Records. Now, the band's fourth studio album, Imbue, with its single, “Narrow Mouth,” released in May 2015, has them on a U.S. tour with Bayside and Better Off that ends at Riot Fest in Toronto. 1417 R Street, www.facebook.com/earlynovember.
