In 2016, the band released their first EP, Misty Shrub.[4] On July 22, 2016, the band released their second EP titled Latigo which amassed over 18 million streams on Spotify.[5] On the back of Latigo, Wilderado spent the next year touring with acts such as Band of Horses, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Lindsey Buckingham, and Judah & The Lion.[6]

In 2018, Wilderado released their third EP titled Favors to warm critical and fan acclaim.[3]
