Elliott Smith was known for his sweet, soft-spoken singing voice with a hint of raspiness and acoustic-driven indie rock. Unfortunately, Smith died in 2003 from a suspected suicide (the possibility of homicide was never thrown out) but his impressive catalog of work lives on. I discovered Smith much too late. It wasn’t until I heard …

Songs We Must Have!
I just heard this track from Little Boots “Meddle (Ebola Remix)” and I just about wet myself! This song is beyond THA SHIZNIT! We advise our entire ETS Nation to get your hands on this song ASAP. We need to bump it in our cars, homes or iPod, ASAP! I found a site where you …

Artist of the Week- Lee Fields & The Expressions

The London-based redhead, Florence Welch makes you kiss her fist on her debut album “Lungs”, …
