Along with such similarly styled outfits as the Goo Goo Dolls, the New Orleans trio Better Than Ezra helped open the floodgates for countless mainstream alt-pop acts of the late '90s by merging rock with melody and creating a more easily digestible form of alternative music for the masses.
Originally formed in 1988 as a roots rock outfit with slight elements of country and punk, the group consisted of four college students from Louisiana State University: Kevin Griffin (vocals, guitar), Joel Rundell (guitar), Tom Drummond (bass), and Cary Bonnecaze (drums). The band's first performances were expectedly held at college bars and fraternity houses, and their debut cassette-tape recording, 1990's Surprise, received positive press and comparisons to such alt-punk stalwarts as the Replacements and Dinosaur Jr. Since then, Better Than Ezra has recorded a "Greatest Hits", a live album, and six studio albums, including "Before the Robots" (2005), "Closer" (2001), "How Does Your Garden Grow" (1998), and "Friction, Baby"(1996). Their new studio album is slated to be released in May 2009. "In May, Better Than Ezra will release our seventh studio album, Paper Empire. We are thrilled with how it sounds and can't wait for you to hear it!" says Kevin and Tom of Better Than Ezra.
