Drill was the first commercial release of Radiohead, debuting on the UK charts at #101 on 5 May 1992. It is considered a rarity amongst Radiohead fans, and is not commonly available. "You" and "Thinking About You" were taken from the band's Manic Hedgehog demo tape; "Prove Yourself", "Thinking About You" and "You" were re-recorded for Pablo Honey in 1993, the band's first full-length album.

"Prove Yourself" is notable for its U2-esque chord changes and unvarnished emotional vocals. "Stupid Car" is a slower song, almost a ballad, and the first of many dealing with Thom Yorke's distrust of vehicles since he and his girlfriend Rachel were involved in a car crash.
