Easyworld were a British indie alternative rock/pop band hailing from Eastbourne, consisting of David Ford on vocals, Jo Taylor on bass and Glenn Hooper on drums, active between 2001 and 2004. The band achieved limited success in the early 2000's, releasing 3 albums in total; "Better Ways to Self Destruct", "This Is Where I Stand" and "Kill the Last Romantic" on Fierce Panda Records and Jive Records before parting ways in August 2004.

History

Formation, early years and "Better Ways To Self Destruct"

Throughout the mid 1990's, Ford and Glenn Hooper played together in several small rock bands such as Sweater, Sixteen & Sheadly. After one Sheadly gig, bassist Jo Taylor approached the band and told them that they needed her to play as their current bassist wasn't up to scratch.

A few years passed, Sheadly had split and once again Ford and Hooper were on the look out for new band members, placing adverts for members in the window of their local music store. In a twist of fate, Jo Taylor picked up the advertisement, and the band 'Beachy Head' were formed.

After recording a few rough demos and an unreleased album, the trio re-christened the band 'Easyworld', after a lyric in their song "Better Ways To Self Destruct". The band signed to Fierce Panda and released their debut E.P., also titled "Better Ways to Self Destruct" even though it did not feature the song of that name, in 2001. The E.P. was preceded by the single "Hundredweight".

Jive Records & "This Is Where I Stand" (2002-2003)

The band signed to Jive Records in 2002 and released two albums, "This Is Where I Stand" and "Kill the Last Romantic" before splitting in 2004.
