Tiny Hawks released their debut 8 song EP/12" Fingers Become Bridges in 2005 on Corleone Records and Moganono Records. It received a review from Exclaim! , which described it as an "energetic record" and noted, "Distorted riffs, post-punk fuzz and hints of math-rock shape the sound of Fingers Become Bridges CD." [1] Their subsequent full-length People Without End was released in 2006. They disbanded when Gus started have medical issues that limited his drumming.

Tiny Hawks' musical style combines elements of math rock and noise rock as well as DC-influenced hardcore punk (Rites of Spring, Cap'n Jazz, Assfactor 4) and 1990s thrash (Palatka, In/Humanity). Their contemporaries include Sinaloa, Fiya, Daniel Striped Tiger, Ampere, Halo Perfecto, and Death to Tyrants. In 2005 and 2006, the duo performed at North East Sticks Together.
