The band's first album was No Shoes in Satsang Hall (2011).[1] Then their second release was an EP, titled Baby Doll in 2012,[2] followed in 2013 by 'Satsangi Shruti Project'.
Satsangi's released their second Lick My Lungs in 2016. It included 14 tracks and guest artist remixes. "We wanted Lick My Lungs to reflect the raw energy of the band live, but also to show an experimental spirit with risks and a broad range of creative ideas. It is also important to mix the east and west in terms of cultural backgrounds. Therefore the collection is a combination of in your face rock n' roll and music derived from Hindu devotional songs. We are really pleased with how all the ideas hang together on the album, which hopefully makes a statement that defines Satsangi." says Johnny Herbert, a member of the Satsangi Band.[citation needed]
