The New Rags released the EP "Take Jennie To Brooklyn" in 2005. The use of the single "Your Room" in an international advertisement led to popularity in Japan. The band released their debut full-length "Gotta Get Out Of Here" in Japan shortly after on the label Art Union and later in the United States.

Their single "Your Room" has been placed in advertisements for Nike and Motorola.[2] Their music has also been featured on the television show Weeds[3]
