The Little Ones are what you might call a power-pop band from LA. They play catchy, guitar-y indie-pop, like lots of other bands. But there are a couple of reasons why you might want to give them at least a chance to impress you.
Reason no.1: “Ordinary Song”, their current single, which you can buy from a music retailing outlet right now. It’s a breezy, West Coast-y number which recalls the less irritating moments of the likes of The Thrills and The Magic Numbers.
Reason no.2: The video to the above song, which you can see over the page, shows the lifespan of a song from its recording, to its airing on radio, to its use as work-out music in an aerobics class. This is all done in a very clever manner which I quite frankly can’t be bothered describing. Maybe just watch it.

Reason 3: The band have been keeping a blog of their recent touring experiences around dear old Blighty. They seem to be having quite a good time, despite the weather, bless ‘em. Excerpt from their post about Newcastle: “We met a sweet girl named Ellie who asked for hugs from all the band members. We were happy to oblige.”
From most bands I’d expect “hugs” to be a euphemism for some sordid sexual shenanigans, but such is the sweet tone of the blog that I can totally buy the band just giving her a big cuddle.
(Or a roasting.)
