HEY!!! Thanks for visiting The EASY ROADS band on myspace. ************************************************************************
HISTORY : The EASY ROADS band (ERB) was formed by Singer/Songwriter, Coy Poole. In July of 2008 Sherrill Coats, owner of Hands On Recording Studio (Lillington N.C.) introduced Coy Poole to Willie Coats [Lead Guitar Player] David Cobb [Bass Player] and Ray Matthews [Drummer] at his studio during a recording session. Poole asked the musicians to assist him on a recording project and shortly thereafter Brian Johnson (Keys) was asked to join the group. The group spent 8 months recording tracks for an album Poole wrote titled, Dying Love and a Dozen Roses. The band recorded demo tracks at Hands On Recording Studio and then re-recorded the songs at OSCEOLA Studio in Raleigh and Stone Creek Studio in Holly Springs. After only 1 year together and before completing the album, the band broke apart.
************************************************************************
The band released one EP album titled, "EVERYTHING FOR NOTHING" which was released as a digital download on amazon.com mp3 downloads. The follow-up Album, "Dying Love and a Dozen Roses" was never completed but some of the unmixed versions of the songs can be heard on this myspace page.

SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL THE MUSICIANS WHO WORKED ON THIS PROJECT AND HELPED TO BRING MY MUSIC TO LIFE...YOU'RE THE BEST! -Coy Poole
Hey guys, thanks for the add. I heard "Promises Will Break" a couple of days ago on JamStudio and I loved it, so I wanted to hear more. I love your sound. Keep rocking! Cheers :)
Pleased to make your acquaintance. Its amazing how much serious talent there is in this town. We'll be at The Varina Sports Bar this Friday with Monica James as our special guest. Stop by and say hello if you're not busy. I'm also doing an Open Mic at Bullfeathers on Thursday Nights.
Just popping by to let you know that we recently made it possible for you (and all artist members) to upload pics to gig listings. So, say you played a gig like SXSW or Indie Week last year, you can now upload a pic of The Motion Sick's performance to this year's gig listing.
We want you to get even more face-time with promoters, so start uploading those rock shots.
By the way,be sure to keep the pics on topic. We want live pics, not headshots
I still love your songs!!! Let me know when you are playing out, I can take hundreds of pictures easily!!! I see you are out of Fuquay-Varina. Do you play at the Varina Sports Bar? That is a 7 mile stone throw from my house. Cheers!!!
