In 2008, the band released their debut-album Partyjoik.
In 2010 they entered a contest hosted by NRK to make the best cover of the Kaizers Orchestra song "Hjerteknuser", where they won second place.[2] The song went on to become one of Rolffa's most popular songs, and in 2022 they reached number 12 on VG's music charts for 4 weeks.[3]
