It is aimed at the locals, so land mark wise we have 4 choices, the rock (where every one buys drugs from), the covered bridge (located next to the rock), the CG market (where every one buys smokes from), or the park (where every one get's arrested for doing the drugs they buy at the rock). Note: those are all serious, like WAY to serious.

actually, why don't you try something with a sort of old school punky feel, such as:

it might work with the image you've got.

See, I'm a big fan of repetitive, preferably monochrome motifs for cover art.
Extra points, if it's slightly headache inducing.
Like Pluse Demon from Merzbow.

or really grainy xerox art, like this Einsturzende Neubauten flyer.

That's not a bad idea our first flier was a Fantastic 4 comic book page I shopped with the details.

But just out of curiosity what is our image? We are a mix of two genres.
(also should post a good band photo)

Your choice could'nt be clearer: do a xerox art collage of the four landmarks.
Call it "Small Town Leisure Centres".

since you don't have the photoshop at home, hook yourself up with the gimp, learning curve is a little steep but if you know PS, then you should be alright
and then you could do mock ups tonight

link!

i'm a fan of the more diy sketch idea that lat proposed though
but i haven't heard any of your stuff. however you can never go wrong with it.

NEVER!

We have some real sketchy stuff on our page, a bunch of locals like it and we almost have 1500 plays so I guess it can't be bad. And I'm gonna get gimp now.
And once again thank you all for the opinions and ideas.

So here is a cover idea, I used a picture of the CG armory/town hall.

I added motion blurs a "xerox" style filter, the green color like DGNR8.
Currently working on the back cover.

the new one is P.I.M.P.

I haven't heard your sound but I know this will work. Like Wilco. They have album covers that couldn't be any LESS evocative of the music they make.

I was thinking about making it yellow, or printing on yellow paper. Thanks for the comments, on the new art, currently working on the back cover.
