Band of the Week, 6/11: The Early November


Who they are: The Early November are among a select group of bands within the emo genre who need no introduction. But to be safe, here we go. The band took off in the early part of the 00's, most notably after the release of their full-length The Room's Too Cold. 2006's The Mother, The Mechanic, The Path, a triple-disc affair that saw the band's demise shortly afterwards, leaving behind a short-lived legacy most bands would dream of attaining, and thousands of fans wondering what could have been.

Why they're Band of the Week: They're back. The emo powerhouse that once was has returned with In Currents, their new album to be released on July 10 through Rise Records. With a new album to promote after a lengthy time out of the limelight, the band were hard at work for the winter on what will be the make-or-break album of their reunion. Fear not, however: if there's any band that can shake off the rust and pick up right where they left off, it's The Early November.

What you need to listen to: Check out the first fully mastered song the band have released to promote In Currents, "Frayed In Doubt:"
