Alpha Wolf toured with bands like [[Polaris]] and signed to Greyscale Records for the release of their debut ''Mono'' which came out in July 2017. ''Mono'' reached #29 on the ARIA album chart and Alpha Wolf was set to open at Melbourne's Download festival in March 2018 as part of their national tour. Before the festival show and two dates out from the end of the tour, allegations of sexual assault were levelled at Ellas and he was instantly fired from the band, which then went on hiatus for almost a year.

Alpha Wolf returned in June 2018 with former Earthender vocalist Lochie Keogh and new permanent drummer Mitch Fogarty. The band's next release was the Fault EP in April 2019, followed by the second album a quiet place to die in late 2020 after national touring with Polaris.
