In 1997, they released Those Damn Bandits, which featured guest appearances by Jimmy the Robot of the Aquabats and Chris Colonnier of Jeffries Fan Club and The Forces of Evil.

It would be OK with me if the Grinch spared them but swiped their ska records and left a shelf of Who, Clash, Bob Marley, Elvis Costello and Neil Young.

"[1] Matt Embree attended Los Alamitos High School, which was an incubator for other third wave ska bands such as Reel Big Fish, Save Ferris, and The Scholars.

The album's success allowed them to tour with well-known acts such as The Bloodhound Gang, Goldfinger, and Reel Big Fish, and later to headline shows with up-and-comers such as New Found Glory and Freakdaddy frequently opening for them.

In the time between Halfway Between Here and There and their next release, Progress, bassist Franz Worth and saxophonist Noah Gaffney left the band.

Shortly after the release of the album, Chris Sheets joined the band on trombone as well as Steve Choi on guitar and keyboards.

They had many temporary replacements for Salomone, most notably Johnny Tsagakis, Chris' younger brother, but eventually Joe Troy, a longtime friend of Embree, who helped to write the song "What If?"

Balling was replaced by saxophonist Steve Borth, who had played formerly in the popular East Bay ska punk band Link 80.

Their line-up of Embree, Tsagakis, Sheets, Choi, Troy and Borth would go on to create the next two albums, The Resignation and ...And the Battle Begun.

[3]The album cover of The Resignation is an original composition called "Predictable" by Aaron Nagel, a Bay Area artist and member of both Link 80 and DESA.

During the DVD's slide show, the background music is performed by Apotheke, a side project run by several members of the band.

Finally free of any legal setbacks, the CD was made available via online order from MDB Records and on specified tour dates.

Officially it debuted in retail stores in October 2006, after which the band performed a Northeastern CD release tour to promote the album.

Borth played his final show with the Rx Bandits on Tuesday, June 27, 2006, at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City.

That writing and rehearsing process saw the departure of Chris Sheets, leaving the band a four-piece and without horns for the first time in its history.

[4] They then headed out on a co-headlining tour with Dredg with revolving support from Good Old War, Zechs Marquise and As Tall As Lions.

On January 4, 2010, the band announced some U.S. tour dates starting in March with support from Zechs Marquise and The Builders And The Butchers.

This tour featured a 3-night stand at The Gramercy Theatre in New York City, where they performed (in their entirety) The Resignation, ...And The Battle Begun, and Mandala on each respective night (an album per show).

When we’re not full time touring or playing shows, we gotta handle business…On May 30, 2012, Rx Bandits announced that they would be performing a series of dates in Brazil during the summer, effectively ending their year-long hiatus.

The band released an EP featuring covers of The Police, Blonde Redhead, Weezer, Fugazi, and King Crimson.

During their special acoustic performance in their hometown of Long Beach, California on December 14, 2013, Embree stated that a new album is halfway written and Rx Bandits will be together again.

In 2019, the band announced they would be performing at the House of Blues in Anaheim, California on January 24, 2020, with support from Anthony Green and VIS.

[11] On November 10, 2023, Steve Choi, on the 'Football, Beer & Punk Rock Podcast', confirmed the band are working on a new album and are back with Sargent House.

Joe Troy, Chris Sheets, and Steve Choi have performed live with the band, which also includes Anthony Green (Saosin, Circa Survive) and Craig Owens (Chiodos vocalist) as well as members of Finch and Days Away.

Steve Borth played with the Northern California skacore band, Link 80, signed to Asian Man Records.

Steve Choi collaborated with Asian Man Records founder Mike Park in both The Chinkees and The Bruce Lee Band.

The album consists solely of Matt on the acoustic guitar with the exception of 3 tracks where Chris Tsagakis assists on drums.
