Ewert Sundja, Erki Pärnoja and Kristjan Kallas are friends who first started playing together in 2008. The band name came from a movie that Sundja was a fan of. After a while the band got used to it and decided to stick with it. Although the name states that there are three people in the group, the band describes one of the dragons to have two heads. For the first concerts, they mostly played covers of
The Police,
Radiohead,
Jeff Buckley and others. Soon the trio decided to use their own material which resulted in the release of their debut album
The Hills Behind the Hills. The album was recorded in three days at the summer cottage of Ewert Sundja's in-laws and was released in October 2009. When they started to perform live, Ivo Etti joined the line-up. In May 2010, the band started their first Baltic tour and gave concerts across the Baltics — in
Riga,
Sigulda,
Liepāja and
Klaipėda. In May 2010, the band was the opening act of
TEDxTallinn conference. On 17 July 2010, the band gave a concert at the
Positivus. On 25 September, the band signed a record deal with Latvian indie label I Love You Records. Second album
Good Man Down was released on 5 April 2011 and it has since then received critical acclaim in Estonia, Latvia, Finland, France and Sweden. The album was one of the best-selling records in Estonia in 2011. The first single off the album, "(In The End) There's Only Love" was popular in all three
Baltic countries and became a breaking point in the band's career. It was premiered in Estonia by Mart Normet on Raadio 2 and in Latvia by Toms Grevins from Radio 101. The track was picked up by Estonian commercial radio stations in mid-2011 and peaked Uuno Radio Top 25 chart in September.
Renārs Kaupers from
Brainstorm mentioned his fondness for the group in many of his interviews and in August 2011 Ewert and The Two Dragons played the song together with Brainstorm at the Freedom Song event at the
Tallinn Song Festival Grounds. Since 2011, Ewert and The Two Dragons have performed in various European countries, also at the festivals like

Tallinn Music Week /
Skype "Go Change The World" award of 2011. The band won three awards at the Estonian Radio2 Annual "Hit of the Year" Ceremony: Best New Act, Station's Favourite, and The Hit of The Year Award for the song "Good Man Down".

The awards included Best Band, Best Video, Song of the Year, Best Rock Album & Album of The Year. In summer 2012 the band signed a worldwide publishing deal with
BMG Rights Management Germany. Ewert and The Two Dragons are a winner of the 2013
European Border Breakers Awards. The European Border Breakers Awards honour the best new music acts in Europe. The award ceremony takes place at the
