In November 2011, they released their first LP, Crazy Master. In 2011, singer Isaac Gale won the City Pages Best Male Vocalist award, where his singing was described as "a poltergeist creeping out of a snowy, crackling television screen, Gale's tortured, throaty hollering is the stuff of zombie nightmares, simultaneously gut-wrenching and enthralling."
In September 2012, they released the Tamper Disable Destroy mixtape.

In October 2013 the band released Oh My Sexy Lord, an LP that Spin magazine called "ferocious" and described as fusing "jagged grooves, scratchy analog effects, and robo-warped vocals into a full-length, experimental freakout." The album features guest appearances by Bon Iver frontman Justin Vernon, Poliça frontwoman Channy Leaneagh, and Har Mar Superstar.

Chris Reiemenschneider of the Star Tribune said that "Marijuana Deathsquads has been steadily blowing eardrums, breaking drum heads and tearing at the seams of conventional music-making since its semi-mysterious inception."
