The group formed when high school friends, Neil Smith and Chris Vanderkooy, decided to collaborate on a musical project in 2014. Peter Wilton and Mikey Pascuzzi joined them on bass and drums. In June 2016, the band released its debut EP,
Sweet FA. They quickly began work on their follow up release and debut
LP,
Being So Normal. It was released in September 2017 on the Vancouver indie label Kingfisher Bluez. Vocalist/rhythm guitarist Neil Smith was formerly part of the folk band Dogwood and Dahlia. Smith and bassist Peter Wilton formerly worked as Amazon delivery drivers, guitarist Christopher Vanderkooy worked at a local Vancouver brewery, and drummer Mikey Pascuzzi worked as a carpenter. Following the success of their debut album,
Being So Normal, the band quit their jobs. Peach Pit embarked on several tours through North America, Europe, and Asia, from 2017 to 2018. During the
Being So Normal album phase, the band sported the same clothes for every live performance after buying them for their first music video shoot. They have performed at renowned festivals such as
SXSW and
Osheaga, and have shared the stage with notable acts like
Mac DeMarco and
Dayglow. Peach Pit performed at
Bonnaroo,
Shaky Knees Music Festival,
CBC Music Festival, and
Capitol Hill Block Party in 2019 and opened for
Two Door Cinema Club in a tour of the U.S. and Canada in 2019. In April 2020, the band released their anticipated sophomore album,
