The release of their second album, Utopia Parkway, in 1999 and produced three singles. However, frustrations between the band and the label resulted in them being dropped. The band went into a hiatus, with all the members pursuing alternative musical paths. It wasn't until 2001 that the band resurfaced with a cover of The Kinks' "Better Things".

Welcome Interstate Managers, the third album, was released in 2003. The single "Stacy's Mom" became an instant success earning a gold certification by the RIAA. The two follow up singles, "Mexican Wine" and "Hey Julie" were not as popular however "All Kinds of Time" received commercial airtime through NFL promotions throughout the 2005 season. The success, particularly of "Stacy's Mom", led to the band being nominated for two Grammys; Best New Artist and Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for "Stacy's Mom".

A compilation of B-sides was released in June 2005 entitled Out-of-State Plates. Two years later, in April 2007, a new album was released called Traffic and Weather.

The band's first DVD, No Better Place: Live in Chicago was released March 3, 2009. The upcoming album is reportedly finished but the band are currently waiting to be signed until they release it.
