Formation and For All of This EP (1999–2002)
The band was formed by singer and guitarist Arthur Enders, bassist Sergio Anello, drummer Jeff Kummer, and guitarist Jim Sacco 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.
Both Sacco and Anello left the band for personal reasons and were replaced by Steve Nakovich (guitar) and Mike Klemash (bass). 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. During this time, there was another lineup change that saw Anello return to the band, replacing Klemash, and Joe Marro replacing Nakovich. A few weeks later, Drive-Thru signed The Early November and put them, despite their practically non-existent stage experience, on 2002's Skate and Surf Fest and on selected dates of the Warped Tour.
Marro left the band before the recording of their debut EP For All of This and was replaced by John Dubitsky. The EP came out on Drive-Thru Records in December 2002. Enders recorded The Acoustic EP on his own, featuring acoustic versions of most songs off of their debut EP, releasing it two months later. Simultaneously, guitarist Marro re-joined the band in exchange for Dubitsky.
Early Success and The Room's Too Cold (2003-2005)

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, Enders recorded a solo record under the name I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business. The CD was almost scrapped due to Enders wanting to focus on The Early November.

Their last show prior to the hiatus was played on May 6 at The Bamboozle festival in New Jersey.
In May 2009, Kumer posted on his Twitter that he and Enders were going to discuss getting the band back together. One week later, Enders addressed the rumors, stating, "it seems like most of you understand now that Jeff's comment last week about the band getting back together wasn't true, but the responses I've seen got me thinking".
