</span></b><span style="color:black">Better Than Ezra asked their loyal fans, dubbed “Ezralites,” to submit their craziest and/or luckiest moment in their lives. In the end, the video serves as a visual scrapbook of both the band and the fans’ journey throughout
the years.<b><br>
</b><br>
“Our fans have been with us for over 20 years,” says Tom Drummond bass player and founding member of Better Than Ezra. “This was our chance to say thank you and to have Ezralites be a part of the new album. Without them, we wouldn’t be here.”<br>
<b><br>
</b></span><b><i>All Together Now</i></b> is the band’s eighth studio album that was produced by
<span style="color:black">Grammy nominated mixer/producer <b>Tony Hoffer</b> </span>
<b>(Fitz and the Tantrums, M83, Beck, Silversun Pickups).</b> The album is a collection of crisp, electro-pop inspired songs. Themed around chance, the album spins out from the serendipity-marveling “Crazy Lucky” into reflective, if relatable, fare such as
the vibratory, folk-inflected “Insane,” the falsetto-kissed “One Heart Beating,” and the more sprawling “The Great Unknown.”
<br>
<br>
“We made an album that was poppier and more concise songwriting,” says lead singer / songwriter Kevin Griffin. “We wanted to give our old fans something familiar, but we wanted to attract new fans.<br>
<br>
This is evident in the band’s first single “<b>Crazy Lucky</b>” hit <b>No.</b> <b>
#37</b> on the <b>Top 40 Hot AC Charts</b>. <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2014/03/24/song-premiere-better-than-ezra-crazy-lucky/6832363/">
