Amidst a highly publicised trademark dispute, the band previously known as Easy Life, now rebranded as Hard Life, have released a new single and accompanying video titled ‘Tears’. The rebranding comes after a fallout with easyGroup, which led to a necessary transformation for the band.
READ MORE: When will bands stop having to change their names unfairly? EasyGroup, known for owning EasyJet, is suing the band Easy Life over its name. Alexandra Haddow delves into the implications for band name disputes.
Murray Matravers, the frontman of Hard Life, expressed that the dispute has significantly impacted their lives and creative process: “Since our pretty public run-in with the well-known airline, my life has been turned upside down a little bit. Everything has been on hold. All of us have had to reassess what the band means to us and come to terms with the idea that everything has a beginning, a middle and indeed, an end.” The new track ‘Tears’ delves into these themes of growth and resilience, reflecting the band’s shift towards a more genuine expression of their artistry.
Despite the legal challenges, the band’s music continues to resonate with themes of perseverance and optimism. ‘Tears’ is not only a reflection on their journey but also an anthem of thanks to those who have supported them: “It’s a hard life, I can’t lie. It’s been a rush. In the hard times, I’m lucky I have friends that I trust. It was easy in my 20s, but now I’ve got a lawyer break-up. Gimme air miles or a fair trial.”
