==History==
It began when Josh McIntyre recorded songs in his home studio as a side project in early 2009. Seeking the unbiased opinions from friends and musical peers, he anonymously posted the music on the internet under the name "Little Girls," a name he believed least likely to reveal his identity. He also sent a link to influential music blog Gorilla vs. Bear,〔http://gorillavsbear.blogspot.com/2009/02/thrills.html〕 and within days, the music was receiving thousands of plays and Little Girls was getting positive attention from blogs such as The Walrus,〔http://walrusmusicblog.com/blog/cool_music_from_toronto_little_girls_venom/〕 No Pain in Pop, Static Fuzz,〔http://staticfuzz.blogspot.com/2009/02/little-girls-youth-tunes-7.html〕 Exclaim! 〔http://exclaim.ca/articles/generalarticlesynopsfullart.aspx?csid1=0&csid2=844&fid1=38927〕 Pitchfork Media and Brooklyn Vegan. Little Girls' sound also inspired influential UK magazine ''Dazed & Confused'' to feature the band in their May 'Mavericks' issue.
Little Girls' sound is driven by youth and nostalgia, and whose influences also come from the 1980s no-wave post-punk scene and the early 1980s golden era of hip-hop. Equally influential are the late hip-hop artist J. Dilla, as well as Can, Joy Division, Wire, and The Clean. Other releases were subsequently released on PBR and Brooklyn labels Mexican Summer and Captured Tracks.
