Hire: Better Than Ezra
Better Than Ezra is an American alternative rock band. They are best known for their 1993 multi-platinum album Deluxe and the 1995 single “Good”, which reached number 1 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.
In 1988, Better Than Ezra circulated a demo cassette tape called Chime Street Demo. While not an official release, this demo is sought-after by the band’s fans and traded by collectors. In 1990, the band released a cassette-only album, Surprise.

In 1993, the band released its first nationally distributed album, Deluxe, on its own indie label, Swell Records, which caught the attention of major record labels and radio. They signed with Elektra Records in 1995.
Elektra Records re-released Deluxe in 1995 and the single, “Good”, reached the No. 1 position on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart, which helped push the album to platinum record status by the end of 1995.
In June 2001, Better Than Ezra filmed a series of commercials for ESPN’s College GameDay. The promo features the band while sports analyst Lee Corso crowd surfs to the stage, where he continues his sports reporting.

On May 31, 2005, the band’s album Before the Robots was released. In 2005, Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry used the band’s song “Juicy” as the background music for the second season of the show’s promotional advertisements. The song “Juicy” has also been heard in the background in commercials for Applebee’s restaurants.
On August 29, 2014, the twenty-fifth anniversary edition of Surprise was released. According to original drummer Cary Bonnecaze, “The family of Joel Rundell (our original guitarist who passed away in 1990) and I own the original recording, and we thought that with 2014 being the 25th anniversary of its original release, it would be a good time to release it.”
