The band formed in 2010 and began releasing music the following year. They independently released their first mixtape, 77777, on March 14, 2011. Later that year, they released two singles, "Ridge" and "Traveling at the Speed of Light", the latter of which appeared on 77777. They released two more independent releases, the Koda Vista EP on March 27, 2012, and 88888 mixtape on April 15, 2013. Later in 2013, they appeared as a featured artist on the Big Data song "Dangerous", which became a number-one hit on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart and also reached No. 106 on the Hot 100. In the same year, they signed to major label Hollywood Records and founded their own label, Cultco Music, as an imprint of Hollywood. After releasing the EP How Do You Feel? in 2014, they released their debut studio album, How Do You Feel Now?, on April 21, 2015. The album was supported by four singles, all of which entered the Alternative Songs chart. The single "Tongues" also peaked at number 104 on Belgium's Flanders Ultratop chart.

The band released their second studio album, Content, on July 28, 2017. Two of its singles, "It's a Trip!" and "Doubt" entered the Alternative Songs and Rock Airplay charts. Their third studio album, Possession, was released on March 13, 2020. One of its singles, "Obsession", entered the Alternative Songs and Rock Airplay charts.

The band released their fourth studio album, Cleanse, on 11 February 2022, and subsequently went on tour in Europe and America. Their European shows concluded in November 2022, and their American shows concluded in November 2023. Out of the singles released, the highest performing was “Every Window is a Mirror”, which hit 32 on the US Alt charts in 2021.

Since the release of Cleanse, Joywave have since collaborated on a studio album from artist duo Best Frenz, consisting of Daniel Armbruster and Jason Suwito. The album was named The Mall and focused heavily on themes of escapism and youthful memories. It was preceded by singles “Throw Your Coins, Make A Wish”, “Flatline”, and “Everything's The Best!”. The album was met with mixed, yet favourable reviews from critics and fans.
