Easyworld were a British Indie alternative rock / pop band hailing from Eastbourne, United Kingdom, consisting off David Ford on Vocals, Jo Taylor on Bass and Glenn Hooper on Drums, active between 2001 & 2004. The band achieved limited prominence 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. It is believed that to the untrained mind, their final single "How Did it Ever Come to This?" is about the bands split.

Throughout the mid 1990's, Ford and 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 really 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 "BeachyHead" was formed.
After recording a few rough demo's and an unreleased album attempt, the trio re-christened the band 'easyworld', after a lyric in their song 'Better Ways To Self Destruct', which also became the title of their debut EP, released on Fierce Panda Records in 2001, with debut single Hundredweight. Surpisingly, the title track of the EP failed to make the cut in any incarnation of the mini-album.
