Bombs Away's debut single reached number 3 on the Beatport Electro Top 100.[8] It also received in excess of 3 million views on YouTube,[9] and was certified Gold in 2013.[1] Their follow-up single "Swagger" was released in early 2011 to coincide with the release of Central Station Records'[10] compilation Wild Nights 2011.[11] The track received national airplay on the Nova Network[12] and Austereo Radio Network.[13]

Bombs Away's third single "Super Soaker" was one of the ARIA Charts Top 50 Dance Singles of 2012[14] and top 50 overall Australian singles in 2011.[15] It was completed and added to all of their performances from March 2011, but the final version was not released until September 2011. Upon its release, it became the highest-ranked dance song from an Australian artist on the ARIA Dance Chart in only its second week of release. The track was certified Gold in March 2012, and Platinum in late 2012.[2][16] In March 2012, they released a collaboration with DJ Kronic, titled "Looking for Some Girls", which reached number 7 on the ARIA Club Chart.

Bombs Away's fifth single, "Get Stoopid", a collaboration with Seany B (the performer of the TV Rock single "Flaunt It"), was released in late 2012, and reached number 1 on the ARIA Club Chart[17] and was ranked number 27 in the Top 50 Club Tracks of 2012 on the ARIA Charts.[18] The majority of the film clip for "Get Stoopid" was filmed on the streets of Surfers Paradise, and featured cameo appearances from "The Twins" and DJ Kronic.

The sixth single from Bombs Away, "Party Bass", was certified Gold within five weeks of its release, and Platinum two weeks after.[2] It also reached number 1 on the Independent Music Chart[19] and the top 3 of the iTunes Dance Chart.[20] It was also the fourth-highest selling Australian dance single of 2012 (26th overall)[14] and 27th overall Australian single in the '12 ARIA Charts.[21]
