In 1976, they relocated to Austin, Texas. Their debut album Big Leg Beat was released in 1980 on Amazing Records. The band's breakthrough came with the 1987 release of Hard Times in the Land of Plenty, which sold over half a million copies and featured the top 20 hit "Hard Times in the Land of Plenty". Omar & the Howlers have subsequently released more than 25 albums, including Monkey Land (1990) and Muddy Springs Road (1995).
