Then newly formed by Ed Reyes and Ian Moreno, the Little Ones, often compared to old-school pop acts like The Beach Boys and The Zombies, soon released their debut EP, "Sing Song" and began work on their full-length debut, "Morning Tide," which finally dropped in October 2008.

The Little Ones are currently touring the US in support of singer/songwriter Brett Dennen through early March.
