The Early November and The Spill Canvas

The Early November

After two decades, it would be all too easy for a band to just phone it in—capitalize on the fanbase they’ve built up in that time and just make a watered-down version of themselves. Not for The Early November, however. Ever since forming in New Jersey in 2001, the band, now consisting of frontman Ace Enders and founding drummer Jeff Kummer—have constantly been striving to find the best and most definitive version of themselves. With this self-titled record, the seventh studio album of their career, the duo have come as close as is possible to doing so. It’s an album that ties the past, present and future all together, and as such, it marks what Enders calls a "period or exclamation point in our sentence". It’s not a new beginning, per se, but nevertheless something emphatic that signifies, in Enders’ words again, "a pivotal moment" for them both.

The Spill Canvas (Acoustic)

A musical endeavor born on the Great Plains of South Dakota, The Spill Canvas has endured for over two decades because of the fans who provide the lifeblood to keep this machine running.

Listing more accolades and successes here feels lame and overdone.

At its heart, the purpose of the band remains the same as when it began – to write songs that move people and to connect with them via the powerful universal language of music.
