On my album, there is not lots I can put on it to keep with my simplistic idea, but I am trying to encorporate the idea of showing the band as a band that goes out and parties, living the 'sex, drugs and rock and roll' lifestyle. to do this on the front I am going to try and to put a small image on based around drugs, or drinking that does not make the band come off as drug addicts or alcoholics but as a band who parties hard in amongst touring and recording.
