Who performs the opening theme song for Better Call Saul?

The story behind the answer

Little Barrie performs the opening theme song for Better Call Saul.

The British rock band recorded the short, guitar-driven theme used at the beginning of the series. Its deliberately rough, compressed sound matches the show’s mix of legal comedy, crime drama, and retro advertising imagery. The opening sequence became recognizable for its VHS-like visual degradation and changing clips as the series progressed.

Little Barrie was formed in Nottingham and was led by guitarist and vocalist Barrie Cadogan. The band’s contribution is specifically the Better Call Saul theme, not a conventional full-length title song. The brief arrangement was designed to establish mood quickly before each episode.

The theme is sometimes attributed to a major American rock band because of its blues-rock style. However, the official performer is Little Barrie, whose name also appears in credits connected with the series’ opening music.
