The band formed in Miami in 2007 through Alcala and Monasterios. Bassist Gonzales was brought on to complete the band shortly thereafter. Early on, the band signed with Orlando, Florida-based label Floridas Dying.[1] In 2009, the band released their debut studio album, No Seasons. The album received critical acclaim and even received an endorsement from Iggy Pop in an interview with Urban Outfitters.[2] This led to the band opening for Iggy Pop.[3] The success of the album saw Jacuzzi Boys sign with Hardly Art, a distributor of Sub Pop Records. Under Hardly Art, Jacuzzi Boys released their second and third studio albums, Glazin' in 2011,[4] and their self-titled album in 2013. After their third studio album, they left the label and self-released their fourth and most recent studio album, Ping Pong, in 2016.[5] That same year, they released their first commercially released EP, Happy Damage.

Since the release of Ping Pong, the band has put out a remix album in 2017 and a compilation album, Singles 'N' Stuff.

gollark: <@301477111229841410> It's not efficient. You would probably get more energy just burning the extra food or something. Also, the prisoners wouldn't like it.
gollark: *Negative* oil prices? Surely that'sa bug.
gollark: But anarchism doesn't have government! CHECKMATE, ATHEISTS!
