2011–2012: Time Travel and Indigo
Main articles: Time Travel (Never Shout Never album) and Indigo (Never Shout Never album)On April 12, 2011, Never Shout Never released the compilation album, Year One, featuring songs from Me & My Uke, The Yippee EP and Demo-shemo, as well as demo tracks. The band's hometown, Joplin, Missouri, was heavily damaged by a tornado on May 22, 2011. Following the destruction, Ingle began a relief fund with United Way to raise $1.2 million for his hometown. To raise awareness about the devastation of Joplin, Ingle took video footage of the destruction and posted it on YouTube on June 1, 2011. The video, which features the song "Time Travel", encouraged viewers to donate to the relief of the town via his United Way fund. The song later went on to become the lead single from their third studio album on July 22, 2011. The album was recorded in Springfield, Missouri at the 2100 Studios. It is also the first album where Never Shout Never recorded as a full band. The album's second single "Simplistic Trance - Like Getaway" was released on August 26, 2011. Never Shout Never's third studio album, Time Travel was released on September 20, 2011. The album peaked at number 35 on the Billboard 200. In support of the album's release, they embarked on a fall headliner tour called The Time Travel Tour. The official music video for "Time Travel" was directed by Joey Boukadakis and was released in September 2011.
Ingle first revealed the title of the group's fourth studio album in an interview with Alter The Press! on May 8, 2012, and on September 20, via his Twitter account, he announced the release date of his new album Indigo. According to Drew, he wanted to record every song with a different producer, all in different cities, to give each song a unique feel and its own style. In support of the album's release, the band released five free tracks from their album through Alternative Press and Billboard. Never Shout Never's fourth full-length studio album, Indigo was released November 13, 2012. It debuted at 194 on the Billboard 200, a steep decline from the group's previous high of 14. The band toured the U.S. on the Indigo tour in late 2012.

He had led a workshop in which a limited number of fans could ask questions and learn from him, with the addition of a one-on-one meet and greet.
A festive EP titled The Xmas EP was released on November 22, 2013. Drew produced and recorded the covers himself and collaborated with Dia Frampton on the original track "Under The Mistletoe". The song was released for streaming on November 15. The EP was recorded in Drew's home. The group headlined the Xmas Tour with support from The Downtown Fiction and Nick Santino in December 2013.
2014–2016: Recycled Youth, Black Cat, and Departure of MacFee
Main articles: Recycled Youth and Black Cat (Never Shout Never album)In late 2013, Never Shout Never announced that the group was working on a new album called Recycled Youth, Vol. 1. The album featured re-worked songs from previous Never Shout Never releases. In January 2014 the band announced that the group had begun recording the album, and was expected to be released later that year. The album was the first installment of what Drew envisioned to be a three part collection of re-recorded fan and band favorites. It was produced by Eric Palmquist in Los Angeles, California. In June 2014, Never Shout Never announced that Ian Crawford joined the band as the lead guitarist. Recycled Youth, Vol. 1 was released on March 3, 2015.
On June 9, 2015, it was announced that Never Shout Never would be releasing their seventh studio album, Black Cat on August 7, 2015. The first single off of the album, titled "Hey! We OK", was released the same day. The album was recorded in the DTLA Recording Studio in Los Angeles, California and was produced by Dennis Herring. On June 17, the group released "Boom!" as the first promotional single from the album. On July 16, the band premiered a new track titled, "Red Balloon" and was released as the album's second promotional single. The album peaked at number 52 on the Billboard 200. On November 24, 2015, Ian Crawford confirmed on his Facebook page that he had been let go from the band.
The band embarked on the Black Cat Tour in January 2016. "Red Balloon" was officially released as the album's second single on February 5, 2016. "Hey! We Ok" was nominated at the 2016 Alternative Press Music Awards for Song of the Year. The group headlined a US tour in June 2016 with support from Hundred Handed and Me Like Bees. On June 26, 2016, bassist Taylor MacFee announced his departure from the band. In November 2016, the group released their ninth EP, Advent Of Violett Soul.
2017–2018: Cancelled studio albums and break-up
In June 2017, Never Shout Never performed at the 2017 Warped Tour. They later embarked on the Throwback Tour, as well as performing at the So What?! Music Festival. The tour lasted throughout 2017 where they played songs from earlier albums that likely wouldn't be played again for a long time. In April 2017, Drew revealed he had plans on releasing Never Shout Never's eighth studio album, Emerald Sun. He described the record as "conceptual," dealing with the theme of love. He stated, "It's something I wrote that I feel has a higher message behind it. It's the album I've been wanting to make — portrays my heart and how I see the world." 13 tracks were written for the album. The album was expected to be released in the summer of 2018, but never made its way onto streaming services.
On March 23, 2018, the band released a cover of Elvis Presley's "Love Me Tender" on their upcoming cover album, All for Love, composed entirely of covers of love songs. On April 2, they released their cover of the Beatles' "Something". It is unlikely All for Love was finished and will ever be released. Drew continued to upload a handful of covers on YouTube, but these were likely not final recordings for the album, nor were they likely intended to be on the album at all.
Ingle revealed in December 2018 that after a small tour in Mexico and Brazil the following month that Never Shout Never would disband. However, he reached out to fans via an Instagram post two days later asking if he should keep making music under the name. Despite the initial announcement, the band performed shows in Brazil and Mexico in early 2019. Following the final show in Brazil (with long-time drummer Hayden Kaiser absent) he stated he was uncertain of the band's future, but no official breakup announcement was confirmed.
2020–2023, 2025: Unborn Spark, retirement and one-off return
On April 29, 2020, Drew announced a solo acoustic album titled Unborn Spark, due for release on May 13, his son's 1st birthday. However, on May 5, he announced that he needed a little more time for mixing and artwork to be completed. On May 17, he announced that the album would be released on June 12. On June 8, the first single, "Time to Change", was released. With it came the announcement that it would be released as a Never Shout Never album.
Never Shout Never returned in late 2021, releasing a new single titled "Easy Swagger" in October. On March 8, 2022, Drew announced his retirement from music, putting an end to the band. In addition, Drew confirmed on Twitter that Never Shout Never was finished. However, on December 24, 2022, he announced that Never Shout Never would be returning the following year and also announced a release of a new album. On November 25, 2023, Drew announced via Twitter his second retirement from music, revealing that he would pursue a new career in professional painting. He also released the final mixes of his intended album, Advent of Violet Soul on the same day. Never Shout Never is set to perform at When We Were Young in October 2025.
