Egypt Central's self-titled debut album was recorded with producer Josh Abraham in Los Angeles.

Two songs meant for this album, "Hate" and "California Dreams" (later reworked as "Citizen Radio" and released on the Murder in the French Quarter: Rare & Unreleased EP), were performed live while on tour in 2008.

Egypt Central completed work on their second studio album, entitled White Rabbit, in December 2010 with producer Skidd Mills and released it on May 31, 2011.

The band opened for Staind at the Q103 Thanksgiving Hangover, November 26 at the Washington Avenue Armory in Albany New York.

They then joined Puddle of Mudd and Pop Evil on December 9 for the 105.7 The X (WIXO) Nutcracker Eleven at the Expo Gardens in Peoria.

On December 3, 2012, after being inactive for a year, bassist Joey Chicago announced through a letter on Facebook that both vocalist John Falls and guitarist Jeff James would not be continuing on with the band, thus bringing an end to Egypt Central.

In 2014 a post was made to the band's Facebook page, announcing a new EP of previously unreleased songs titled Murder in the French Quarter, that was set for release on August 19, 2014.
