The group’s early breakthrough came with the self‑produced EP Endsongs (2000) on LunaSea Records, followed by the singles "Exit" and "Pool Song" (2002) on Hummer, which established their presence in the New York City rock scene. In 2002 they signed with RCA Records and released the album The Strangest Things (2002), produced by Dave Fridmann, and the single "Everywhere You Turn" (2003) that received national airplay; the band toured with The Strokes and The Vines. There's a Fire (2005), produced by John Leckie, saw lineup changes with Nic Brown on drums and Jeff Sheinkopf on keyboards. Subsequent releases included the album Secrets Are Sinister (2008) on Original Signal Recordings, accompanied by a national tour with Blue October. After a hiatus, Longwave re‑formed in 2018, releasing the single "Stay With Me" (2018) and "Dreamers Float Away" (2019) on Bodan Kuma, and the fifth album If We Ever Live Forever (2019), continuing their contribution to the US alternative rock landscape.
