Better Than Ezra & Kevin Griffin, New releases coming! Options

[J.Sax]

I know there are some BTE fans here on the boards, so I thought I'd share the latest news with everyone. At a recent show, one of the band members said that there would be a new album coming out sometime in 2009! This is great news after there were rumors of them calling it quits a while back.

On top of that, Kevin recently redid his MySpace profile and it looks like there will be a solo album coming out this year. He's been posting new music to his profile for fans to get a glimpse--he said some will be solo and some will be BTE. There have been three so far, but as of right now, he's removed the older ones.

I'm here to help! Here are the three new songs that he posted..."I Just Knew," "Black Light" and "The Loveless" Any new songs will be posted at this address, as well, and I'll be directing everyone there whenever there's something.

So, what's everybody's opinion?

October 29 - "The Loveless" (Mix 5) added
October 22 - "Hey Love" added
August 29 - "Wounded" and "Simple Song" added

Thank you sir.

Do bootlegs for BTE exist the way they do for Live? I've made some attempts to find stuff, but it doesn't seem anywhere near as readily available as Live's.

There are numerous bootlegs, but I don't know of any sites that archive them like we have with Bootleg Heaven and such. I don't have any, myself, or I'd share. It's more of a trade scene over on their forums.

I'd recommend giving their stuff a chance...and eventually buying the albums. They've been around since 1988 and continue to make incredible music. Every band I listen to pretty much got big in that 1994 era, and a lot of them are still around. But they don't make great music anymore (LIVE, for example). However, Better Than Ezra has not stopped making incredible music.

Agreed. I haven't been disappointed with them yet. Garden is definitely my favorite, though. Have you heard the Surprise tape from the late 80's? That's some good stuff.

It's been confirmed that there will be a new BTE album in 2009!
