The group founded their own label, Dizzy Culture Music, Inc., in 2008, and released a full-length album, Film Black the same year. [1] They performed two of their singles off this album, "Just a Shame," and "Morocco" on Good Morning, Texas, on March 11, 2008.[ citation needed ] They re-appeared on the program with two more songs, "Stay Close," also off of Film Black, and "Face the Clouds," a preview of their new album, on September 3, 2009. [1] [2] "Morocco" was featured on a pop music compilation album released by Nylo Hotels. [3] In 2009 Titanmoon toured the world, stopping in Pakistan, United Arab Emirates, and Japan. These shows were dedicated to Daniel Pearl World Music Days. They video-blogged about some of this tour on their YouTube page.

After reading the book Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson, lead singer Tyler Casey heard a Pakistani member of his church discuss a recent humanitarian trip to Karachi, Pakistan. Casey and his band members decided to go to Pakistan themselves, not only to perform but to encourage wealthy Pakistanis to help less-fortunate fellow Pakistanis. [4] The group is now making plans to help found an orphanage and school in the Karachi area. [5] Their tour and charitable mission was featured in the Summer 2010 issue of Dallas' La Mode Magazine. [6]

While in Japan, the group acted as ambassadors of their hometown of Fort Worth to Fort Worth's sister city, Nagaoka, Niigata. They brought back with them a gift for Mayor Mike Moncrief from the Vice Mayor of Nagaoka. [2] [5]

In 2013, the band released the album Bang Bang, along with a film documenting the recording process entitled Churches, Salons and Bars. The group subsequently toured Europe. [7] In 2015, they released the album Masquerade. [8]
