[8] Andrew Westhead and Patrick Foley replied to the advertisement and were accepted into the band[9] along with Benjamin Biss, who Walters knew from university.

As the band's career started to gain more traction, he posted less often until he finally announced in the video, titled "A New Chapter", that he would go on an undetermined hiatus for the channel and would be focusing his efforts on As It Is.

[10] The band members began working on the group's debut full-length album in 2014 in Florida with producer James Paul Wisner.

[11] The band's debut full-length, Never Happy, Ever After was released on 20 April 2015 in Europe and the following day in the United States under Fearless Records.

They released their third album, The Great Depression, on 10 August 2018, which included the singles "The Wounded World", "The Stigma (Boys Don't Cry)", and "The Reaper".

The song that As It Is chose was Such Great Heights, which was originally made famous by the indie rock band The Postal Service.

Lead singer Patty Walters was also interviewed by Hopeless Records as a part of a campaign to get kids and teens to seek out help if they are going through personal struggles, which was also the overall message of the album.

At their show at the 02 Forum Kentish Town in London on 1 December 2018, the unofficial world record for the most crowd surfers during an hour-long was set.

[23] On Tuesday December 29, 2020, As It Is announced on twitter that drummer Patrick Foley would be leaving the band to pursue a new career as a firefighter.

[30] Following Testo's departure, As It Is played that year's Reading and Leeds Festivals as a three-piece with touring musician Ross Brown returning on drums.

[3] As It Is has been described as a pop punk band with a "melodic, earnest, emo-inspired" sound, compared to the early material of Taking Back Sunday, The Starting Line, All Time Low, Silverstein, Underoath, My Chemical Romance, Rise Against, and AFI.
