With Confidence have cited influences from bands The Dangerous Summer, Kings Of Leon, Blink-182, The Wonder Years, The Strokes, The Dead Love and La Dispute on their Facebook. Along with Blink-182, All Time Low, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and The Dangerous Summer mentioned in their interview with Beers with the Band on YouTube. Their sophomore EP 'Distance' was released on January 13, 2015. It was recorded at Electric Sun Studios with Stevie Knight and Dave Petrovic (Tonight Alive, Hands Like Houses, Northlane) at the helm.
On January 4, 2016, the band announced they had signed to American independent record label Hopeless Records. They coincided this news with new single and music video "We'll Be Okay". Following this the band announced an Australian headline tour set to take place in April, with support from Harbours. On April 5 they released their new single "Keeper" along with the announcement that their debut album "Better Weather" was going to be released on June 17 worldwide. Following their Australian headline tour, the band travelled to Japan to tour with The Wonder Years, ROAM & The Cautioners. Directly after the Japanese tour, With Confidence travelled to the UK to support As It Is alongside American band Jule Vera. After the UK tour the band voyaged across to the US to appear on the entirety of the Vans Warped Tour.
Upon returning to Australia the band were on the road almost immediately again, supporting Motion City Soundtrack & 5 Seconds of Summer before heading out on their own album tour in October to celebrate the album that charted at #22 on the ARIA Charts.
In November 2017 Luke Rockets was removed from the band due to sexual misconduct with an underage fan.
In September 2022 the band announced on social media that they were to break up after their current tour at the time and a small run of shows in Australia. They played their final show on November 27 in Brisbane Australia.

Archers
With Confidence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This place I fell in between,
Cause it's a god damn mess,
I guess I got lost in the seams,
I kinda wanted to see,
The places I want to be,
So, let this whole thing come undone,
So, hold my hand it's just for a second,
I will be here for all that of a minute,
We are the swords and we are the archers,
We wanted more than a normal structure,
So, live it out for the ones who told us,
To lead a life that we never wanted,
So, keep your heart on your sleeve,
And keep your eyes on the streets,
'Cause it's a godamn long drive home,
Back to normality, (C'MON!)
So, hold my hand it's just for a second,
I will be here for all that of a minute, (?)
I find myself, it's all I ever wanted to see,
We are the swords and we are the archers,
We wanted more than a normal structure,
So, live it out for the ones who told us,
To lead a life that we never wanted,
I saw a light in a cold way glisten,
We'll catch a light and we'll make you listen,
We wanted more than a normal structure,
We are the swords and we are the archers,
(We are the swords and we are the archers)
So, hold my hand it's just for a second,
I will be here for all that of a minute, (?)
I find myself, it's all I ever wanted to see,
We are the swords and we are the archers,
We wanted more than a normal structure,
So, live it out for the ones who told us,
To lead a life that we never wanted,
I saw a light in a cold way glisten,
We'll catch a light and we'll make you listen,
We wanted more than a normal structure,
We are the swords and we are the archers,
We are the swords and we are the archers,
We wanted more than a normal structure,
So, live it out for the ones who told us,
We are the swords and we are the archers.
The lyrics of With Confidence's "Archers" are about finding a sense of purpose and direction in life. The first verse describes the feeling of being lost and wanting to escape from the monotony of everyday life. However, the chorus takes on a triumphant tone, with the singers proudly identifying themselves as "swords and archers" who want more than just a "normal structure." The second verse suggests that this desire for more could lead to creative expression, as seen in the line "I saw a light in a cold way glisten/We'll catch a light and we'll make you listen." Overall, the song is an ode to the pursuit of individuality and the rejection of societal expectations.
