Joel Rundell (September 26, 1965 – August 8, 1990) was an American musician best known as one of the four original members and lead guitarist of the Louisiana-based alternative rock band Better Than Ezra.[1] He and the other original members formed the group while attending Louisiana State University.[1]
Rundell died by suicide on August 8, 1990,[1] nearly a year after the release of the band's first album, Surprise. After his death, the band went on hiatus before reuniting as a trio by the end of 1990.[1]
In 2016, Rundell's family as well as former drummer Cary Bonnecaze sued the band on the conditions that Better Than Ezra did not have the rights to the re-release the album citing the 25th anniversary release of Surprise featuring a remastered version of the album.[2]
