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. "Thinking About You" was taken from the band's Manic Hedgehog demo tape, whilst "You" was a newer version; "Prove Yourself", "Thinking About You" and "You" were re-recorded for Pablo Honey in 1993, the band's first full-length album. All tracks on this EP are demo versions and were recorded at the Courtyard Studio in Oxon. The band were still called On A Friday when the songs for this ep were recorded. They changed their name to Radiohead the following month. Produced and engineered by Chris Hufford and mixed by Timm Baldwin.
"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.
