The band released its first EP, 300 Pianos, in 2009. In 2011, they were selected as the Manhattan winner for WNYC's annual Battle Of The Boroughs. The release of the band's second EP, The Ghost Stories EP, followed in February 2012. Andy Suzuki & The Method released videos for “Her Ghost” and “Take Care Of Me” in support of "The Ghost Stories EP" in 2012, and following the EP's release the band performed at an Official Artist Showcase as part of the SXSW Music Festival. The Urban Daily included the band in their “25 Artists That Need To Be Heard” series.

In the fall of 2012 Andy Suzuki & The Method toured Brunei with sponsorship from KFC and UBD FM, establishing a strong regional following among Bruneian youth. During this tour, fans of the band in Brunei adopted the monikers "Methodons" and "Methodonnas".

In May 2013 the band released the full-length Born Out Of Mischief album, with the album's first single "Keep Me Running" premiering on Billboard.com a week before the album's release.

In 2015 the band participated in a TEDx conference hosted by the Central Intelligence Agency at their headquarters in Langley, Virginia. They have performed twice on the Rock Boat, building a national following in 2015 and 2016. The band has toured in support of Ringo Starr, Eric Hutchinson, Joshua Radin, Sister Hazel, Marc Broussard, Tyrone Wells, and Amanda Palmer, among others.
