The Living End's first exposure came from the single "From Here on In" in 1996, it was released on their second EP "It's For Your Own Good" and received airplay on Australian national radio station Triple J, where it placed at number 49 on the station's annual countdown, the Triple J Hottest 100. The band's big break came in 1997, when the double A-side single "Second Solution / Prisoner of Society" became the highest selling Australian single of the 1990s. The single spent 47 weeks in the ARIA top 50,cite web|url=http://australian-charts.com/showitem.asp?interpret=The+Living+End&titel=Second+Solution+%2F+Prisoner+Of+Society&cat=s|title=The Living End - Second Solution/Prisoner of Society (song)|publisher=australian-charts.com|accessdate=2008-08-13] and charted in the top 30 of America's Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart. The Living End signed a contract with Modular Recordings and released their debut self-titled album in 1998. The album charted at number one in Australia and has since gone onto receive a four times multi-platinum certification from ARIA, after selling in excess of 275,000 copies in Australia alone. Six songs from the debut album were released as singles and it remains The Living End's most commercially successful album.

Their sophomore album "Roll On" contained the singles "Pictures in the Mirror" and "Roll On", it failed to live up to the success of their debut album, but did still receive a platinum certification. "Modern Artillery" was The Living End's third album, released in 2003, it is their lowest selling album to date, although it still achieved gold status in Australia. The band returned to the number one position on the ARIA albums charts with their fourth album "State of Emergency", in 2006. The album featured the band's first two top 10 singles in Australia since 1997's "Second Solution / Prisoner of Society". "Wake Up" and "What's on Your Radio?" charted at number five and nine respectively. With only minor singles "Rising Sun" and "Til the End" released in 2007, the Triple J Hottest 100, 2007 was the first time since before "From Here on In" in 1997, that The Living End did not feature on the list.cite web|url=http://melbourne.citysearch.com.au/music/1137596807893/The+Living+End|title=The Living End Editorial Review|publisher=Melbourne.citysearch.com.au|date=2008-07-20|accessdate=2008-07-30] ref label|jjj|H|
