After five songs released on several Geykido Comet Records compilations (one being This Just In... Benefit For Indy Media) the band went into the studio and recorded their debut EP, Unfurled, in 2007. It was produced by Tommy Stinson. Unfurled was released on August 27, 2008, on CD Baby.
In 2009, the band signed with Southern California punk record label Basement Records in order to release their second album, Dumb Bomb in 2010. They have performed at the Troubadour.[2]

"Bobot Adrenaline proves pop punk and a social consciousness aren't mutually exclusive." – PUNK PLANET
... Bobot Adrenaline stepped up, a sweet trio of LA pop punks who crooned about bullies, anarchists, sham elections, the death penalty and Bulgarian rock. They were great and bouncy, stuff destined for airplay on our mental radio station... – OC WEEKLY
"...diversity of influences and creative spark inherent in their tunes..." – RAZORCAKE
OC Weekly praised the band's political lyrical themes, specifically highlighting the track "Radio Tikrit." The review noted the song's musical similarity to The Clash's "The Guns of Brixton" and its focus on CIA-operated propaganda stations during the Iraq War.[citation needed]
