The band released their debut album, “Lullwater”, on September 17, 2013[1] and toured to support that album.[2] The band was named from the street that their original drummer lived on in Athens.

With its new lineup, Lullwater began playing more clubs and touring. In 2013, Lullwater recorded their first album at London Bridge Studio in Seattle, WA.[2] Lullwater's self-titled album “Lullwater”, released on September 17, 2013, pays homage to the grunge bands of the early 1990s who influenced their sound.

Following the release of their self-titled album "Lullwater", the single "Albatross" received heavy rotation on SiriusXM Radio's Octane Channel channel.[5]

Following the release of “Revival”, Lullwater toured for 12 months to support the album, opening for Amaranthe , Butcher Babies, Another Lost Year, Temple Agents, Theory of a Deadman and Candlebox until the end of 2016.
