They have also appeared on several compilations with original songs and covers. Gatsbys American Dream drew their name from F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby. The band's self-titled fourth album, their second on Fearless Records, peaked at number 22 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart and number 28 on the Top Independent Albums chart.
Although the band is difficult to classify into one subgenre, it can be said that they draw influence from alternative, progressive rock, pop/rock, hardcore punk, indie pop, indie rock, post-hardcore, and heavy metal.
