They drew on a mix of influences ranging from the Beach Boys to the Ramones to create their own brand of rock.

Drive North was later re-released after the band was signed to record label Fueled by Ramen on October 13, 2016.

[citation needed] In 2008, they released a set of songs on their MySpace page under the album name This Kid.

[citation needed] Although This Kid is not an official studio album, a few of these songs appeared throughout their career, including "Burn Apollo" that was re-recorded on their debut album, Queens being played live in 2012, and "I Need to Be Fixed" played live during Warped Tour 2012.

[10][11] The band spent all of 2010 working and recording their first studio album with Green Day frontman and Joey's father, Billie Joe Armstrong.

[citation needed] In 2011, the band released their first full-length album, Don't Be a Dick, on June 14 through Adeline Records.

[24] In March 2015, the band announced that Silver Bullets/Palm Trees' release would be delayed and that Jakob Armstrong, brother of drummer Joey, would be filling in for, and subsequently replacing, bassist Seb Mueller, who had to take college exams.

After the release of the EP, SWMRS received mainstream media coverage due to the song "Miley".

This announcement was made by Annie Mac on BBC1 Radio, along with the release of SWMRS' song, Palm Trees.

The following day, Drive North was rereleased under Fueled by Ramen with two additional songs: "Palm Trees" and "Lose It".

On October 28, 2019, guitarist Max Becker along with two members of the road crew were involved in an accident while driving their van from Oakland to Denver, resulting in the cancellation of the rest of the band's 2019 shows.

[42] The following day, Armstrong responded on the SWMRS Instagram account, saying that while he disagreed "with some of the things [Lydia] said about me", that he had privately apologized to Night and asked for forgiveness.

[43] Armstrong's six-sentence response was considerably shorter than the band's five-page statement regarding Burger Records made one day prior, a contrast noted upon by both some media outlets and Night herself,[44][45] who responded that the statement showed "everyone exactly who [Armstrong] and [his] band of imposters are".
