Orange County Punk Band, Radio One, commissioned Slingshot Digital to create a CD album cover design and insert that reflected their classic self titled album.

Overview:
Radio One formed from ex-members of Pushers and Bleeders, has a guitar-driven old school punk approach that recalls early GBH and The Clash. This also goes right along with the anti-establishment and direct action message of such songs such as "New World Shakedown" which would go right along with Sham 69's "(Gonna Be A) Borstal Breakout". Great, tight arrangements accentuated with chorus vocals really give these songs punch. Rebellion with a purpose and radicalism that rocks carries over into other anthemic songs here, like "The Outlaw". Before rushing out into the street, baseball bat in hand, give a good listen to this record, so you know what you are fighting for.

Challenge:
Design a cover and supporting artwork that reflects the overall sound of the album and spirit of their punk rock roots.

Solution:
Slingshot Digital created a traditional "punk paste-up" style design that uniquely captured the mood of the album. The new design is simple and pure, yet radical. The artwork becomes an extension of the sound allowing a cohesive feel to the overall package.
