Srivastava had previously studied at the University of Glasgow before dropping out of the Berklee College of Music and returning to Texas. and received accolades from various online and print publications such as Spin and Pitchfork. Spin noted that Raised by Wolves was " a stunning mini collection of John Hughes heyday paeans, twitchy pop, and surging, Strokes y dancefloor fillers." A second five song EP, Mothers, Sisters, Daughters & Wives, arrived in stores on April 4, 2006. The three song EP Your Biggest Fan followed on November 17 of the same year. On October 26, 2006, the Los Angeles Times reported that the group was entering the studio to record their debut album. Initially, the group had sought Stephen Street, who had previously worked with The Smiths and Blur, to produce the album, but Street was unable to due to scheduling conflicts. The album peaked at number 42 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart.

In June 2007, the band performed a Take Away Show acoustic session shot by Vincent Moon. To promote the album, the band toured with Au Revoir Simone and Favourite Sons in the summer of 2007.

In March 2009, Voxtrot released the single "Trepanation Party", which received significant airplay on the Sirius/XM's influential Sirius XMU channel. The track was recorded and mixed with Jim

The single was self released by the band's own Cult Hero Records. On April 21, 2010, lead singer Srivastava announced on the band's website that they would be breaking up following a short tour, entitled the 'Goodbye, Cruel World " tour, which consisted of a total of seven dates. In the letter addressed to fans, Srivastava noted that "The career path of Voxtrot was truly one of long, simmering build, explosion, and almost instantaneous decay. Slowly, I am learning to replace any feelings of regret with positive memories of how amazing the whole thing was, and how it has, in an unexpected way, fortified my character." Lead singer Srivastava released his first solo album, The King, in 2014 after releasing several tracks and an EP.

On May 6, 2022, the group announced they were embarking on a reunion tour through the latter part of the year, along with the release of archival recordings.
