Before Ed Reyes and Ian Moreno formed The Little Ones, they were members of an indie rock band called Sunday's Best.
Instead, an EP, entitled Terry Tales & Fallen Gates, was released on Branches Recording Collective, a label created by the band.
[5][6][7] "Argonauts" is the first single release from the band's second album The Dawn Sang Along and an album launch was held on February 8, 2013 at the Echo venue in Los Angeles, California, U.S.[8] A music video for "Argonauts", directed by Lee LaDouceur and edited by Derek Lieu, was published on the Internet on February 1, 2013.
[12] Following the release of the band's second album, bassist Brian Reyes revealed, "We love pop, the way 60s songs were crafted: there's a hook, vocal layerings, harmonies.
"[2] The Little Ones supported popular British rock act, Kaiser Chiefs, on a UK arena tour, together with We Are Scientists, during late 2007.
[citation needed] The band appeared at the SXSW arts festival, held annually in Austin, Texas, US, in both 2008 and 2013.
[14] Seattle, Washington, US radio station, KEXP, a member of the NPR media organization, featured "Oh, MJ!"
[16][17] Kevin Cole, writing for KEXP, then selected the Sing Song EP in a list of the eleven best debut albums of 2006.
Cole described the band and the EP in the following manner: "This L.A. band makes its debut with a charming, sunny indie-pop EP, which combines pulsing rhythms with strong melodies in ways that recall Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, but with less of an obvious Talking Heads influence and a bit more Shins-style jangle.
