You Know The Drill discuss the creation of their EP artwork!

24 Views
Posted on: 2018-06-22
 
Pop-Punks You Know The Drill have recently dropped their sophomore EP ‘Selfhood’. The latter is indeed out since June 22nd via Scylla Records.
Vocalist Benji Yapp is here to discuss the creation of it’s striking cover artwork...
“If memory serves me right, then the artwork (or at least the idea behind it) came before the title did. We were toying around with a lot of different ideas at the time, but we knew for certain that we wanted to go with a photograph rather than a cartoon again, in attempt to break the mould and stand out a little more. When I first thought of the idea of the dandelion and the lawnmower, I thought it was kind of dumb and wasn’t expecting the boys to take to it at all. But much to my surprise they loved it and starting planning how we were going to go about shooting it. In terms of photographer, we didn’t consider anyone other than our long time friend and talented visuals guy, Mike Mann (Schmannly Visuals). Before involving Mike, we thought we’d have a go at demoing the artwork ourselves. Just to see how it might look. We couldn’t find any real dandelions for our practice shoot. So we found a yellow ball and stuck it in a ground hook, to replicate the weed. From this tester shoot we decided the artwork could work and with a little bit of magic from Schmannly, actually look good! YKTD - Artwork shooting
The photo was shot in Damo’s (bass) back garden on a fairly cloudy day. Damo is also the person in the photo mowing the lawn! Despite the weather conditions, Mike did a fantastic job of editing the photo to look like a beautiful summer’s day! The story being told in the art is that we have this dandelion at the forefront. And dandelions by nature are classed as weeds, which in most cases are undesirable. Meanwhile lurking in the background is the lawnmower, pointed in the direction of the dandelion. But despite this the dandelion is bright, colourful, stood tall and ready to face adversity head on. And that’s what Selfhood is all about. Being proud and owning who you are, despite what anyone else might say.”
