Sunday's Best was an indie rock band formed in 1997.

The band's start came at KXLU, Loyola Marymount University's famous college radio station, where guitarist Ian Moreno, singer/bassist Ed Reyes, and drummer Tom Ackerman (formerly of Skiploader) all worked at in the late 1990s. Moreno and Reyes started the band with singer/guitarist Pedro Benito, a friend of Reyes's, and recorded the band's first 7" single in 1998, before recruiting Ackerman to play drums. In 1999, they put out their first EP, the seven-song Where You Are Now, and in 2000, they followed with their first LP, Poised to Break, on Polyvinyl. In 2002, their second album The Californian appeared, showcasing the group's most perfect and clean pop sound yet. The band slowly parted ways over the next few years, though frontman Ed Reyes and guitarist Ian Moreno have since started a new band, The Little Ones. Benito plays in The Jealous Sound while James Tweedy plays in The Bronx.

The song "Without Meaning" appears in the film Waiting... and many other tracks have appeared on the short-lived animated television shows Clone High USA and Undergrads.
