The Ells, a Seattle based alternative rock/ indie band, first came together in the spring of 2010. The quartet began solely as a studio project, not fully evolving into “band” form until early 2011 when they released their debut EP, “Kodak Summer”. The Ells’ combination of catchy hooks, swirling guitars, and a 4 on the floor “heartbeat” kick makes them a band to watch.
