In March 2001, El Guapo recorded its first album for Dischord Records, "Super/System", with Phil Manley of Trans Am at National Recording Studio. "Fake French", El Guapo's second Dischord release, was released in March 2003.

In early 2004, the band expanded to a four-piece with the addition of former Orthrelm drummer Josh Blair. Later, El Guapo rechristened itself as "Supersystem" and recorded two albums for Touch and Go before disbanding in 2006.
