The duo released their debut album Ego War in 2003 to positive reviews which helped to establish them as one of the best new acts in dance music. The album fused elements of breaks, hip-hop, punk, garage and house with clever beats and samples.
In 2005 they released Generation, the follow-up to their debut album. Despite reaching number 3 in the UK Singles Chart with their 2005 hit, "Shot You Down", which samples the Nancy Sinatra version of the song "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)", the album was poorly received. Generation was seen as a step away from what made Ego War appealing due to the pace being slower and a number of tracks being downbeat in mood. In a 2008 interview, Simon Franks suggested that they listened to their label, Virgin, too much: "We should never have listened to anyone else". "Virgin admitted they didn't know how to market house music, and it slowly turned into us making this slower album. The daft thing is, Shot You Down was the big hit, this old-school club track, but it was followed by a moody, dark record. It confused everyone."
In making Generation, the group worked with Suggs of Madness collaborating on the track "This Road".
Their new album, Sunday Night Fever, was supposed to be out September 2008, but has been delayed till 2009. It has been renamed to Higher Than The Eiffel and will be released in 2010. The first single promoting that album entitled Only Man, will be released on March 22nd 2010.

Audio Bullys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything looks strange
These people talk to me
But I don't know there names
I've got to get back home, yeah
I've got to get back home, yeah
I've got to get back home, 'cause I'm in love
Everything I said I said for you
(You still know)
And everything I do you do it too
Everything I said I said for you
(You still know)
And everything I do you do it too
Love keep on working
Love keep on working
Love keep on working your magic
Everywhere I go,
Everything looks strange
These people talk to me
But I don't know there names
I've got to get back home, yeah
I've got to get back home, yeah
I've got to get back home, 'cause I'm in love
Love, I'm in love
I've been going on for weeks but it feels like years
Love the way you talk
Love the way you stare
Love your blue eyes and your dark soft hair
And you can't compare do those others
Make me leave my brothers in the bars and the clubs(you still know, you still know)
I'm staying in now(and you still know), listening to those old school dubs
Now I'm preaching, real love(cuz I'm in love)
Love the things you do, the days we spend, when we break up and then we mend
Lalalalalalala, you still know
Lalalalalalala, lalalalalalala
Lalalalalalala, you still know
I still know
Love, I'm in love
Gotta get back home, cos I'm in love
Love, I'm in love
Gotta get back home, cos I'm in love
The opening lines of Audio Bullys's song "I'm in Love" suggest that the singer is in an unfamiliar environment where he's surrounded by strangers, who try to communicate with him, but he can't seem to recall their names. The lines emphasize his longing to return home where he feels more comfortable and safe. The repetition of the phrase, "I've got to get back home," highlights the urgency that he feels to be with his loved one. The song then progresses into the chorus, where he confesses his love for someone, and how he does everything for them, only to be reciprocated back. The line, "love keep on working your magic," implies that the singer is relying on love to bring him back to his loved one, where he can find solace.
The second verse of the song reinforces the singer's desire to be with his loved one. He talks about the way his loved one talks, stares, and looks, emphasizing his attraction to them. The lines, "Love your blue eyes and your dark soft hair, and you can't compare those others," indicate that he is deeply in love and feels that his loved one is unique and irreplaceable. The lines also suggest that the singer has left his old lifestyle behind, including partying with his friends, for the sake of his relationship. The chorus repeats, emphasizing his love and longing to return home to be with his loved one.
Audio Bullys's "I'm in Love" is an excellent depiction of the effects of love and how it can make someone feel lost and out of place when they're not with their loved one. The song highlights the singer's yearning to be reunited with his loved one and the sacrifices he's willing to make for love.
