The band released the digital single "Anybody" on August 13, 2013. The band's self-titled debut album was released on January 21, 2014. The album includes twelve tracks with two iTunes exclusive bonus tracks.
In 2014 Bad Things also released a new song, "Ditty", as well as acoustic versions of "End of the Road" and "Anybody"; all three were available to download for free, for anyone who 'liked' the band on Facebook or 'followed' them on Twitter and Instagram.
On April 29th 2015 Davis LeDuke announced that he had parted ways from the band on his Instagram account, writing "I love those guys and always will but its time from a brand new chapter for both of us. I would like to thank everyone who came along for the crazy ride that was "bad things" you are all such a huge part of my life and will forever be loyal to you...".
In 2016, former Bad Things Drummer Lena Zawaideh filed a lawsuit against Shaun White, claiming sexual harassment and breach of contract. White and Zawaideh reached an out-of-court settlement in May 2017; the terms of the settlement were not disclosed and the court case dismissed.
