In the spring of 2013, Wagner announced a three-day music festival, All Tomorrow's Shoeys, in Hobart’s Hotel in Brisbane. After the festival, the band participated in the Tram Sessions project. They arranged live concerts in Melbourne trams.
In the summer, the band released an LP, Don’t Fuck with Our Dreams. The inspiration for the successful lead single came from an event, which occurred before the show during the Young Drunks Tour. The guitarist of The Bennies was stabbed and nearly died. For the first time, the song appeared on The Fest in Florida in 2013.
In 2014, The Smith Street Band announced its third LP, Throw Me in the River. Its producer Jeff Rosenstock used to work with Bomb the Music Industry! The album was released on October 2014. Next year, the band presented a new popular single, "Wipe That Shit-Eating Grin Off Your Punchable Face”. The money earned from the sales was donated to the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre. The organization helps refugees from different countries.
The new album, Throw Me in the River, climbed to the 105th spot of ARIA Chart. After the release, the artists embarked on a local tour, which continued for 26 days. They called it Get High, See Everyone. Great Cynics, PUP, and Apart From This joined the group for that tour. At that time, many organizers tried to book The Smith Street Band for private events.
In the fall of 2016, the musicians presented the lead single from their upcoming album. The song "Death to the Lads" appeared on the radio station Triple J. The artists also announced another tour with FOREVR, Grim Rhythm, and The Nation Blue. The single reached the 21st spot on Triple J's Hottest 100 in 2015.
