The band was started while they were in high school, but they reunited after college to make their debut, Other Mathematics. It was released in 2001 on Ace Fu Records. The subject of their lyrics range from sex to Jean Baudrillard and his philosophy about Simulacra. For example, on "The Birth Of Disneyland" vocalist, Shahin Motia, sings "See the grown-ups act like children. It's a way of living." Many compare Shahin's vocals to David Byrne of Talking Heads or Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo.

Their sophomore album, Zoo Psychology, was released two years later. It took ideas from the first album, but broke more rules. The songs became more dirty and noisy with peculiar time changes. By this time, bassist Mike Masiello left the band. Zach Lehrhoff replaced him, and partakes in vocals as well. The latest, Chrome Panthers is what the band considers Fundustrial Noise. The current line-up is Shahin Motia, Zach Lehrhoff, plus occasionally Kid Millions of Oneida. Shahin is the only remaining original member of the Ex Models. Ex Models are active in the Brooklyn music scene and are also in side bands. Shahin is in The First Lady Of Cuntry and the Cunts and Zach is in The Seconds.
