In 2014, Ithaca self-released their debut extended play, Narrow the Way. [3] The following year, the band released their second EP, Trespassers, through Church of Fuck and Soaked in Torment Records. [4] Ithaca recorded their debut album The Language of Injury in 2017. [1] Founding bassist Drew Haycock left the band following its completion. [5] Due to "various reasons", [6] it would not see a release until February 2019, through Holy Roar Records. [7] In September 2020, Ithaca left Holy Roar after the label's founder was accused of sexual misconduct. [8] In October, they released a cover of "Hold Fast Hope" by Thrice for a compilation organised by the 2000trees festival. [9]

In May 2021, Ithaca signed to Hassle Records and reissued The Language of Injury through the label. [10] The band's second and final album, They Fear Us (2022), was their first and only album to chart in the United Kingdom, debuting at number 46 on the UK Independent Albums Chart. [11] In 2025, Ithaca plan to disband after releasing one final single and performing at the ArcTanGent festival in August. [12] [13]
