Moore announced he had left From First to Last to pursue a solo career. He then launched a Myspace page displaying three demos ("Signal", "Equinox", and "Glow Worm"). This led to Moore's first performance since his leaving From First to Last. On April 7, 2007, alongside harpist Carol Robbins, Moore played several original songs at a local art building.
After months of releasing demos via Myspace, Moore played on the Team Sleep Tour with a full band. The tour also featured supporting acts Monster in the Machine and Strata. Moore made several demo CDs available on this tour, limited to about 30 per show. These CDs were tour exclusive, and were packaged in "baby blue envelopes", each with a unique drawing by Moore or bandmate.
In February 2008, Alternative Press Magazine announced the second annual AP Tour, with All Time Low, The Rocket Summer, The Matches, and Forever the Sickest Kids, as well as Sonny Moore. The tour started in Houston, Texas on March 14 and went through North America, ending in Cleveland, Ohio on May 2, with the majority of the shows being sold out. All bands playing the tour would be featured on the cover of Alternative Press Magazine's annual 100 Bands You Need to Know special, and would be interviewed on the Alternative Press Podcast. During this tour Moore's line-up consisted of Sean Friday on drums, Christopher Null on guitar, and Aaron Rothe on keyboards.
On April 7, 2009, he released Gypsyhook EP, a digital EP, which featured three songs and four remixes. Also included was a Japanese version of "Mora" entitled "海水" ("Kaisui").

    Ricky Z Critique

    Unfortunately, I had class at the start of the event on Thursday night, as a result I only got to catch and listen to the end of Ricky Z's set, but I loved what little of it I heard. When I was at the block party I heard three songs performed by Ricky Z's and his band. I was excited because I knew two out of the three songs played. The two songs I knew were, Piano Man and The Way It Is. Although Piano Man was a Billy Joel song, The Way It Is was a song from a band the Range, sang by Bruce Hornsby. Either way I was still happy I knew at least two songs. This was not your typical musical performance I would be subject to at the Lunch Hour Series. Instead of listening to a musical performance inside the music room, the performance was outside which was a nice change of scenery. Due to the performance being outside spectators had room to dance along with the music and everyone seemed to being enjoying that aspect.…

The band's members consist of Sam Harris (vocals, guitar, sax), Casey Harris (keys), who is blind, Noah Feldshuh (guitar), and Adam Levin (drums).
