E.s.t. began performing at Blackmail, a local club. The group used to sell their records out of their van in the school parking lot. The members of E.s.t. met in grade school. The lead singer used to fall asleep with a recordplaying as a kid.

The band is in the start of the accompanying tour for their latest release. The new album is 's first album since the band broke up four years ago.

Often times, critics commend E.s.t. for their ability to rile up the crowd at live shows. A music critic from Pittsburgh, Thomas Richardson, has always been pleased with group’s great lyrics. E.s.t.’s most current release is receiving superb reviews from Quincy Hemmingway, a music critic out of Biloxi, and Bob Bierlein, from San Antonio.

E.s.t. first garnered some national attention with their first single. E.s.t. met with a local DJ from K99.1 and convinced him to play their single on air. The single immediately became a local hit and larger radio stations started playing the song. Eventually a record executive heard it and signed the group.

E.s.t. realized that they were real working musicians after the band’s first fan club was started by Jenna Brady in 1983. The club started out small, with just a handful of members around Charleston. After the band’s first national tour the club grew dramatically, reaching a membership in the thousands.

E.s.t. will mix songs from the latest album with hits from its older project. The group has all their tour information, from the tour schedule to the latest E.s.t. tickets released, on TheSeats.com.
