The band has released several albums on the label Sympathy for the Record Industry and has done a split single with the band Scarling. Their newest album "Chautauqua" was released on Dim Mak Records.

The Willowz received national exposure (in the United States) as a finalist in December 2005 Yahoo.com's Who's Next. They lost to BarlowGirl.

The band collaborated with director Michel Gondry on their music video "I Wonder" and in turn produced two songs on the movie soundtrack for Gondry's film "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind". Two of their songs, "Making Certain" and "Ulcer Soul" were used in the 2006 film The Science of Sleep. In 2007 Michel Gondry's son Paul directed the music video for "Take A Look Around" collaborating with artists Valerie Pirson, Will Robertson, Owen Levelle, Shoko Komori, Ivan Abel, Hristi Bertelsen, Yota Bertrang and Paul Barman.
