The band is said to have been on hiatus a few years after their founding, as NeonWabbit focused on college, however, they did make a couple of tracks and covers as background music for his student films, including ''[[Breath]]'' (2015) and ''[[Parramajestique]]'' (2015).

=== Return and ''Put Down Your Pickaxe'' (2018–2019) ===
=== Return and "Put Down Your Pickaxe" (2018–2019) ===


A song was required for use as the credits theme of [[The Aussie Goldmine]]'s original animated series pitch pilot, resulting in the creation of two demo versions of "[[Put Down Your Pickaxe]]". As a test to see the process of uploading to music streaming services, the two demos were bundled together in November 2023, and distributed via Distrokid, with self-published Bandcamp, SoundCloud, and Newgrounds versions of the single released shortly after.

=== Second hiatus (2020–2022) ===
As no Studio RGB-Newt productions required an original soundtrack during the start of the 2020s, the band is said to have taken a second hiatus during these years.
=== ''The Thirst Tides'' and ''The Thirst B-Sides'' (2023–present) ===
Efforts to create an original album of songs not associated with any Studio RGB-Newt production resumed in 2023, after earlier attempts since the band's founding. This resulted in the decision to produce a 15-track album titled ''[[The Thirst Tides]]'', with each song having a different genre. The theme of water was decided upon for this debut album as NeonWabbit's first ever project, ''[[Surfman in the "NO" Race]]'', also focused on water.
Out of the 15 tracks, 8 were decided to be turned into singles with even more new songs as B-sides. The B-sides are to be compiled in an EP titled ''[[The Thirst B-Sides]]''.
