All of the singles were released with accompanying music videos. They joined Ho99o9 and The Underachievers on separate tours in 2017. In 2018, the group embarked on their first headlining tour, accompanied by Indiana artist Freddie Gibbs for its second half, and were featured on the Aminé single "Campfire". I recorded all my stuff alone in a dark room, but this created a truth. I was trying to rap in new voices so I could get out of my head." [8]

In July 2023, the decision was made to officially disband. Going forward, the surviving members would reform a new project under the name By Storm, and the Injury Reserve name would stay behind with Groggs. However, one final release would come out in 2023: an Injury Reserve box set, containing all of their previous records. h]"Bye Storm" contains excerpts from " Here Come the Warm Jets", written and performed by Brian Eno.

Cooler Colors was mostly us trying to replicate our favorite artists, and we found that really corny. When me and Parker critique people, we’ll say “Oh that guy sounds like this guy” and then we were realized we’re total hypocrites. Live from the Dentist was us finding our own sound, and that’s why we call that the first actual Injury Reserve project, because the music’s original and it gets at our personalities. Injury Reserve was an American hip hop group formed in 2013 in Tempe, Arizona. The group consisted of rappers Stepa J. Groggs (Jordan Groggs), Ritchie with a T (Nathaniel Ritchie), and producer Parker Corey. [3] As their fan-base gradually widened, in 2017 Injury Reserve continued to strike the iron while it was hot with the EP Drive It Like It’s Stolen, previewed by three singles: “North Pole” (featuring Austin Anderson), “See You Sweat” and “Boom (X3).” Seibert, Brian (November 3, 2021).

This last choice allowed Injury Reserve to work with a bigger budget on their self-titled debut album, that eventually was released on May 17th, 2019 and featured many more guest artists (the previously mentioned JPEGMAFIA, Aminé and Cakes da Killa, but also Rico Nasty, Freddie Gibbs and DRAM, among others), as well as more extravagant and forward-thinking choices in the production, as shown in the singles “Jawbreaker,” “Jailbreak the Tesla” and “Koruna & Lime.”
