Hard-Fi respond to Easy Life changing their name to Hard Life

The band announced their name change yesterday (June 12) due to a now-settled dispute with easyGroup. Hard-Fi have responded to Easy Life’s announcement that they have changed their name to Hard Life.

The indie group, led by frontman Murray Matravers, became embroiled in a legal battle with the company that owns easyJet in October last year, conceding defeat a month later.

After playing their final gig as Easy Life in London, where the sold-out KOKO crowd chanted “fuck easyJet” in protest, the band unveiled their new name, Hard Life, yesterday (June 11).

Now, Hard-Fi have responded to the news on social media. Quoting their own interview with Matravers about the name change today (June 12), they jokingly replied: “Er… lads….”

In our interview with Matravers, he was asked what Hard Life might do if they were sued by Hard-Fi. He jokingly responded: “Oh god. Maybe I’ll sue them for a laugh! Rest assured I do have the trademark for Hard Life.”
