Joel Rundell

Joel Rundell (September 26, 1965 – August 8, 1990) was one of the four original members of the Louisiana-based alternative rock band Better Than Ezra. He and the other original members formed the group while attending Louisiana State University.

Rundell committed suicide on August 8, 1990, 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.
