They released their first hit single ‘Pockets’ back in 2017 which would later go on to be put into the FIFA 19 soundtrack and would become an earworm for all FIFA players due to the catchiness of the songs chorus. This song remains to be one of the bands biggest all-time hits as it stands in 3rd place for their most listened to song on Spotify with over 20 million listens.
The band only released singles and mixtapes at the start of their musical journey and had many hits such as their soft romantic tune ‘Sangria’, the story of the lead singers heartache with ‘Frank’ and the catchy melody of ‘Peanut Butter’. However, the Leicester born group truly took off with the release of their first official album life’s a beach which features their most popular song ‘Nightmares’ whilst including other big hits like ‘Ocean View’ and ‘Skeletons’.
The release of this album resulted in Easy Life being invited to perform their new songs at BBC Radio One’s Big Weekend, which brought eyes towards the tuneful style of the band as well as to their charismatic lead singer Murray Matravers.
Their latest album Maybe in Another Life provided various contrasting and creative songs within it, ranging from a club type song in ‘Basement’ to a more soulful and emotional piece with ‘Moral Support’, which again exhibited their variety in song making capabilities.
The city of Leicester has had a short supply of noticeable bands apart from the likes of Kasabian, therefore this recent upsurge in support for Easy Life will surely raise spirits and morale whilst also possibly inspiring other upcoming artists to follow in the footsteps of the rapidly growing musical group.
As the bands popularity continues to increase, it seems inevitable that they will become one of the UK’s biggest artists within the next few years and as they poetically put it, their unique selling point is that they are "completely lame", this modesty will be bound to attract copious amounts of fans.
