    I thought it was a ridiculous thing to go to court over, then I saw their poster where they'd nicked an easyJet photo and changed the names on it.

    Shit Life?  No, Shite Life.

    That's not a comment on the band, or on Leicester, just the general state of the world today.

    That's a little provocative I agree but hardly the first time an advert has been used in homage/satire.

    Think it's a bullying tactic by SleasyjetEasy Group; the report I heard said the band couldn't afford the legal costs to contest the case. I think Stelio's would have been hard pressed to find someone who genuinely confusing the band and the airline.

    As to new names how about one from; "Unexplained Delay", "No Compensation" or "The Cancellations"?

    Just to point out it's nothing to do with easyJet.  It's easyGroup who own the branding.

    The singer should change his name by deed poll to Easy Life - or maybe E.Z. Life. Then the band could legitimately claim that they’re named after their singer. 

    Reminds of the story about Warner Brothers suing the Marx Brothers for using the word ‘Cassablanca’ in the title of one of their films (Warner Bros had recently released the Bogart film Casablanca). The Marx Brothers countersued Warner Brothers for using the word ‘Brothers’ in their company name.
    I play guitar because I enjoy it rather than because I’m any good at it

    Seems pretty pathetic. You cant copyright the word ‘Easy’. It’s not as it people would turn up to a gig expecting to get flown to America.

    I know a guitarist I met through this site years ago, who was Filbert Fox at home games when he was a student!

    Honestly if they don't go with "Shitty Airline" I'll be disappointed.
