Sunday's Best was a United States-based emo group formed in 1997.
History
The band originated through connections at Loyola Marymount University's college radio station, KXLU, where guitarist Ian Moreno, vocalist/bassist Ed Reyes, and drummer Tom Ackerman came together with singer/guitarist Pedro Benito. Their initial 7" single debuted in 1998, shortly before Ackerman joined as the drummer. In 1999, they issued the EP Where You Are Now, followed by their first full-length album Poised to Break in 2000, released via the Polyvinyl label. Their 2002 release, The Californian, showcased a more polished pop-oriented style. Over time, Sunday's Best gradually ceased activity; Reyes and Moreno went on to create The Little Ones, Benito became a member of The Jealous Sound, Tweedy performed with The Bronx, and Ackerman joined the post-hardcore group The Kite-Eating Tree.
Song usage in media
Tracks by Sunday's Best have been prominently featured in the Xbox game series Amped, including titles such as "Don't Let it Fade," "Our Left Coast Ambitions," and "Brave, but Brittle..." (specifically in "Amped 2"). The song "Without Meaning" was included in the movie Waiting.... Additionally, their music appeared in animated shows like Clone High and Undergrads, as well as Fox's series The Loop with the track "Indian Summer", and the well-known drama Gilmore Girls, featuring "Saccharine" during season three's episode titled "Keg!Max!".
