The band released their first EP titled Aesthetic in 2003 which they recorded with founding member and vocalist Phillip Reardon who left the band in 2004 due to personal and creative differences. Dear Diary, My Teen Angst Has a Bodycount followed in 2004 and Heroine in 2006, both with Moore.

Following the departure of Moore in February 2007 to work on his solo electronic project, the band added permanent bassist Matt Manning, and Good moved to lead vocals/guitar. Their third self-titled studio album was released in 2008 on Suretone Records. In August 2009 the band signed to Rise Records. In late 2009, Richter left the band. Their fourth studio album, Throne to the Wolves was released on March 16, 2010. On July 28, 2010, the band entered a hiatus.

In November 2013, the band re-formed, with Periphery vocalist Spencer Sotelo as the new lead vocalist, as well as Richter rejoining the band. They released their fifth album Dead Trees in April 2015. Sotelo departed the band in July 2016. Former vocalist Sonny Moore rejoined the band in January 2017. In May 2020 Matt Good admitted that while there are a few tracks that could be on a new album, he's unsure if it will ever come to fruition.[2]

On July 30, 2016, former vocalist Sonny Moore held a radio show on Beats 1 as Skrillex. The final song of the radio show, an untitled bonus track was, according to Alternative Press, reminiscent of prior From First to Last work with Moore's vocals.[35] The article talked about the rumors being generated by a Facebook post regarding a possible reunion.[36]

On August 1, 2016, Spencer Sotelo announced he left the band.[37]

On January 15, 2017, the band released a new single, "Make War", featuring vocalist Sonny Moore[38] and original drummer Derek Bloom returning to the band (although the single featured drummer Travis Barker instead of Bloom.)[39][40][41][better source needed] Their first show back with Moore and Bloom was on February 7, during an Emo Nite LA event in Los Angeles, California at music venue Echoplex.[42] This marked the band's first live performance with Moore in ten years and Bloom since his departure in 2010.[43] Longtime bassist Matt Manning also appeared with the band during the show, having only performed alongside Moore briefly before his initial departure from the band. Aside from debuting "Make War" live, the band played a set featuring material strictly off of Dear Diary.... Guitarist Taylor Larson was not present at the performance, and is no longer a member of the band.

In 2017, Moore stated that "Make War" was the first they wrote after reuniting. He later stated that the band plans to release more music.[44]

In December 2017, the band debuted a new song entitled "Surrender" at Emo Nite Day in Los Angeles.[45] The track was later released on July 23, 2018, with Bloom returning on drums.[46]
