2012–2018: Formation and EPs
The Vanns began as a jamming group in 2012 and went onto win the 2012 Red Bull Bedroom Jam, which gave them a placement with The Getaway Plan at the Sydney Hi-Fi, recording time in Melbourne with Jan Skubiszewski and a set at Homebake 2012.[3]
They won Wollongong band competition in 2013.[4] They released their self-titled debut EP in 2013.[4] It was re-released in 2014 as EP 2.0.[5]
In January 2015, The Vanns released their second EP, Scattered By Sundown.[4] This was supported by a national tour.[6] Alexander Crowden from Beat Magazine called the EP "some mighty fine infectious pop-rock" saying "They sound unlike pretty much any other band on the local landscape, and that's a good thing; we need more bands like these guys."[1]
In March 2017, The Vanns released their third EP Shake the Hand That Picks the Fight.[4] Jimmy Vann said, "The EP name is about disguising and turning turning a blind eye from the truth. Trying to shut out what you can't face with temporary reliefs, which we've all done at times - living in a constant high to escape from what's real. It's the idea that it's easy to throw yourself in the deep end but it's much harder to get out."[7]
2019–2022: Through the Walls
In October 2019, The Vanns released their debut album, Through the Walls via Sony Music Australia.[8] The album was preceded by the lead single "Mother".[9]

In June 2025, the group announced the release of their third studio album All That's in My Head.[12]
