The Ettes released their first album Shake the Dust on Sympathy For The Record Industry in the United States and 2Fer Records in Spain in 2006. Shake The Dust was produced/mixed by Liam Watson[2] and recorded at Toe Rag Studios in London, UK.

The Ettes' second album Look At Life Again Soon released by Take Root Records in the USA, 2Fer Records in Spain and KNTRST in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland in 2008. Look At Life Again Soon was also produced and mixed by Liam Watson and recorded at Toe Rag Studios in London. This release has been called "as good as modern garage rock gets" by Tim Sendra of Allmusic.[3]

The Danger Is EP released by Take Root Records in the USA in April 2009. The EP includes 2 tracks that are produced/mixed by Dan Auerbach and recorded at his Akron Analog studio in Akron, Ohio in December 2009.[4]

The album was also released on Moor Works in Japan, The Planet Company in Australia/New Zealand and KNTRST in Germany, Austria & Switzerland. Do You Want Power was produced/mixed by Greg Cartwright and recorded at the Bomb Shelter in Nashville, Tennessee. Tim Sendra of Allmusic refers to it as "their most focused and diverse set to date and widens their garage rock sound without diluting it".[5]

The Ettes' fourth album Wicked Will was produced at Toe Rag Studios by Liam Watson and released August 2, 2011 through Krian Music and the band's own imprint, Fond Object. The vinyl version was released through Sympathy For The Record Industry.[6]
