In addition to the announcement of their new fall tour dates, Better Than Ezra are also releasing a brand-new single, “Mystified” – their first new song drop since 2018. Produced by BTE singer-guitarist Kevin Griffin, alongside Emery Dobyns, “Mystified” – all slashing guitar and urgent vocals – marks the band’s first offering from their forthcoming, highly-anticipated ninth studio album (Round Hill Music).
Since forming in 1988 at Louisiana State University, Better Than Ezra have been on a rocket ride through the Rock world, definitively making their presence felt at every turn. The band exists in rare air among their peers having occupied spots on Billboard’s “100 Greatest Alternative Songs of All Time” and “100 Greatest Alternative Artists of All Time.” Better Than Ezra was a prominent fixture on radio and MTV in the Nineties, thanks in large part to the monumental success of their cherished 1993 independent album, Deluxe, which included standout fan-favorite “Good,” a multi-platinum selling #1 hit on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks Chart.

About Better Than Ezra:
Songs, albums, live performances – some are simply timeless. From their early roots, circa 1988, playing house parties at Louisiana State University, Better Than Ezra have made their mark on the music world in a major way. Yes, the New Orleans quartet, founded by Kevin Griffin [lead vocals, guitar, piano] and Tom Drummond [bass, backing vocals], who unleash hummable melodies, unshakable guitar riffs, and confessional lyrics, have stood the test of time – from 1995’s #1 hit “Good” all the way to Taylor Swift’s famous 2010 cover of the Better Than Ezra classic “Breathless.” And they’re still going strong: the Alt-Rock icons are headlining monumental live shows all year long. Named one of the “100 Greatest Alternative Artists of All Time” by Billboard – and even inspiring a classic Saturday Night Live skit – Better Than Ezra are currently in the studio working on new music for their forthcoming, highly-anticipated ninth studio album set to be released via Round Hill Music.
