Their debut album, Beauty Pageant, was released in 2018.[3] The album's success led to The Bobby Lees opening for The Black Lips, Shannon & the Clams, Future Islands, and the Chats.[4] At one stop on their tour in Tulsa, Oklahoma the band's gear was stolen.[5] The band were able to play the date using borrowed equipment from local bands.[5]

Their 2020 record Skin Suit was produced by Jon Spencer[3] and released via Alive Naturalsound Records.[6][1] Skin Suit made the San Francisco Examiner Top 10 Albums of 2020 List[7] and was called "a raucous ride from beginning to end" by PopMatters.[3] In 2021, the group toured with Helmet in support of Skin Suit.[8] They also recorded new material with producer Vance Powell in anticipation of a new album for release in 2022.[8]

The band’s name The Bobby Lees comes from a song entitled ‘Bobby Lee’ off of the group's first LP. It is about a ghost who used to visit the vocalist.[9]

Singer Sam Quartin has openly shared about a history of alcohol-induced schizophrenic episodes, and those experiences being the inspiration behind many of the group's lyrics.[2]
