Cover artwork

Photography, art direction, design.

This was a real fun shoot with the boys. The location was an old shoe factory in Northampton UK. We used this huge industrial (and eerie) lift for the focus. The intention was to create the perception that the floor has suddenly dropped away into oblivion, and so the boys cling to the walls and ceiling. Perhaps the lift was on its way up (as were the band), but staying there is another fight altogether. Symbolizing the potential struggle/rise and fall of many bands in the fickle music industry today. One shot was taken of the lift whilst unoccupied, after which each band member was captured one at a time in the space whilst being elevated into postion by ladders. These were later taken out of the image during post production.

The on offs/ fandango

Web design prootional arwork, art direction and film.

We filmed their live performance at the Leeds "V" festival to an almighty crowd in the NME Tent. Which became a movie download available on their website. During an all day shoot where the boys performed for us relentlessly we captured a unique behind the scenes world of the band which would later translate to a series of artwork which was used promotionally as banners and promotional flyers, from print to web. Very fond memories, even a lump in the throat.
