NME magazine described Throwing Up as "London's latest DIY shit-storm", whilst Maximumrocknroll said "Throwing Up make super cool snarly stripped-down punk that sounds to these ears like a catchy post-grunge echo of DC’s Chalk Circle mixed with a bit of that lo-fi Messthetics-style hustle bustle".
Their first single "Toothache" was self-released in March 2011, their second single "Mother Knows Best" was released on What's Your Rupture? in October 2011. Their third single "Big Love" was released in March 2012. The band played SXSW in Austin, Texas in both 2011 and 2012.
