A full-length debut, GB City, featuring the single "Young Pros," followed in 2011. Barrett also began touring, working with a varied lineup of musicians for live performances. Moving to Innovative Leisure for 2013's sophomore full-length, Bass Drum of Death, followed by a second album, Rip This (2014) The following year, Barrett announced that the group would be going on hiatus due to "personal issues." The band returned in 2018 with Just Business, released on Century Media, and by 2020, Barrett had put together a new lineup, collaborating with his younger brother, guitarist Jim Barrett, and drummer Ian Kirkpatrick. The trio released the 7" single "Too Cold to Hold/Wait" and spent much of the COVID lockdown working on new material, culminating in 2023, when they reunited with Fat Possum and delivered the group's fifth full-length, the Patrick Carney-produced Say I Won't.
