The band was founded in 1999, and released their first six-song EP independently in 2000. The group was founded by singer Erich Barto and drummer A.J. Gonzalez. The band was signed to independent label Polytope records and toured twice under this label. After A.J. Gonzalez left the band, they replaced Gonzalez with Mike Desario for most of 2003. In late 2003 Jon Hernandez joined just before the band signed to Californian
label Strikefirst Records, a subsidiary of
Facedown Records. They released the EP
Broken Pledge in December 2003 and played many gigs to support it. In March 2004 Alove for Enemies signed with the main Facedown Records label. A year later, the album
The Harvest was released; it was supported by a full US tour and by a European tour in spring 2005. 2006 saw the release of
The Resistance on Facedown Records. All the song titles on the album are references to the movie
Equilibrium. On September 4, 2007, Alove For Enemies announced their break up on their Myspace blog. They played Facedown Fest East Coast in Maryland as their penultimate show, on Sept. 29, 2007.
