The band's debut studio album, The Dust Coda, was self-released in November 2017.[7]

The Dust Coda saw Planet Rock radio airplay of their singles "Breakdown" and "Weakness", on both the A-list in 2021 and the B-list in 2017, and Wyatt Wendels' New Rock Show, respectively, and a video premiere of their single "Let Me Go" via Planet Rock's webpage.[8][9] They were nominated for Best British Album (Mojo Skyline) and Best British Single ("Limbo Man") for Planet Rock's The Rocks 2021 Awards[10] (having previously been nominated for Best New Band as part of Planet Rock Radio's The Rocks awards in 2017 and named as one of Planet Rock's 'Ones To Watch').[2][9] The first single from their album Mojo Skyline, "Limbo Man", was added to the B-list on Planet Rock Radio in November 2020,[11] and the "Limbo Man" music video was also premiered via Planet Rock's webpage.[12] "Limbo Man" was also featured in Classic Rock Magazine's 'Tracks Of The Week'.[13] Their single "Weakness" appeared in Classic Rock Magazine's online poll for Greatest Rock Song of the 21st Century.[14] Their song "Demon" was recently selected to be played on Sir Elton John's Apple Music Beats 1 show Rocket Hour, and the song was added to his 'Elton John: Loves' Spotify playlist, which highlights new music. On 12 December, their new single "Limbo Man" received airplay on BBC Radio 2 via The Rock Show with Johnnie Walker.[15]

The Dust Coda have performed across various British rock festivals, including Planet Rockstock, Winter's End, Ramblin' Man Fair, Steelhouse Festival and Hard Rock Hell.[1][8][9][16][17][18]

In 2020, following the release of this compilation, the Dust Coda signed to Earache Records.[21] Their sophomore album Mojo Skyline is due to be released by Earache Records in 2021.[21][22] The album artwork was designed by Nick Dwyer, artist and creative director at Beavertown Brewery, using the same artistic style as Beavertown's beer designs.[22]

Mojo Skyline features performances from Tom Pinder (trombone), Gavin Fitzjohn (trumpet/tenor saxophone/baritone saxophone) and Nick Nasmyth (piano/organ), who have played for the likes of Manic Street Preachers, Paolo Nutini and Kylie Minogue.[23]
