Their debut EP released in 2016. In this EP we can see the beginnings of their sound develop. The album contains their trademark distorted sound and auto-tuned vocals. A precursor to their eventual success, this EP did not lead to their breakout success but allowed for their sound to develop into what they created on their next album
Their debut full length album released in 2019. In this album we can see the fully realized sound that catapulted them to stardom. Combined with the sound they established in their previous album, 100 Gecs get creative and incorporate aspects of dubstep, nightmare, and even ska music to create a more unique sound that appeals to the millennial music fan. "745 sticky" and "Ringtone" are examples of songs that have been remixed by mainstream artists such as Injury Reserve and Rico Nasty.
