Propellers released their debut EP Midnight Kiss on 28 January 2013. The same day, the title track from the record was released as a single, together with an accompanying music video.[4] "Midnight Kiss" was first played by Jacob Rickard on BBC Introducing in Kent at the start of January. The band were chosen for daytime plays on BBC Radio 1 shows, including Sara Cox and Scott Mills.[1] In March 2013, the band released the second single from the EP, titled "Landslide". A video for the track was also released onto YouTube.[5]

In 2013, the band played many high profiled festivals, including T in the Park 2013 on the BBC Introducing Stage & BST Summer Time at Hyde Park with The Rolling Stones.
2014 saw the band take a break and return to the studio to write new songs. 'City Boys & Model Girls' was uploaded to stream for free via SoundCloud & Spotify in September 2014.
In 2015, Propellers released new song 'Come Alive' with huge video shot in London, starring model Eve Delf. 'Come Alive’ (featuring Stasis) became BBC Introducing's record of the week. Just a month later, the band released another new, heavier song called 'Deep Into The Night'.
