Name Origin:
The band has yet to disclose the origin of their name. One theory is that it comes from a line in Ernest Hemingway's memoir "A Moveable Feast", in which Hemingway describes a particularlyannoying sound as "...no worse than other noises, certainly better than Ezra learning to play the bassoon."

Did You Know:
• Fans of the group often refer to themselves as Ezralites
• The first track of their 1990 release Surprise is called Ezra Pound.
• Kevin Michael Griffin has co-written all the songs
• Cary Bonnecaze became interested in drums at the age of 3 or 4, and taught himself to play
Quotes:
We had been writing songs for a year before we made Surprise. Then three years went by and many things happened to us personally, so the next record would naturally sound different. And it was good to come from a Southern rock band that mainly played in the South, and then go out west and meet somebody froma completely different background and have them come in. Out there, people are always saying that you either "get it" or you don't "get it". Well, Dan got it.
Kevin Griffin
My mom heard the song and said it makes me sound like I had a horrible childhood, which I didn't, I had a really normal childhood. When we were out in L.A., there's always people you know who on the fringe or came froma broken home, where they were never shown that they had any self worth. People tend to go out on those fringes.
Kevin Griffin (about the song "Teenager")
I was riding a mountain bike up in the Hollywood hills, and came down and started singing it. Cary came up with the harmony on top of the chorus, which is very important for the song.
Kevin Griffin (about the song "Porcelian)
"We had our own Internet site, and we found out it was just lame compared to the fans' [sites], So we got rid of ours, and we're putting together one that's just amazing. It's going to be an award-winning, state-of-the-art Web page. It's really staggering."
Kevin Griffin
"It's great as far as the Internet goes because information travels so quickly, and I don't think it's ever going to threaten print media, but it's certainly made people in print media"
Kevin Griffin
When I was little, I used to wish that my dad would bring Kiss home from work, like on "The Dick Van Dyke Show" when famous people would come home with the dad.
