Six musicians crowd together in a room with a makeshift stage. Two are holding electric guitars, one is holding a bass, and a woman stands behind a keyboard. Another woman sings into a microphone and wears a black hat. A man is behind them at a drum kit with sheet music in front of him. Everyone is singing. There are twinkling lights strung behind them and an old chandelier is almost noticeable at the top hanging from the wooden ceiling. There are people in the audience recording the musicians on their phones. Everyone is close to amps and speakers and tables.

A Day To Remember - Big Ole Album (Album art). A drawing that is both a collage and an explosion. There are many people and faces doing many different things, including driving a fan, throwing toilet rolls, hanging out the window of a house, playing guitar, wrangling alligators, and more. There is a zeppelin balloon in the sky on the left and sky diver parachuting underneath. On the right there is a military helicopter shooting flares and bullets. There is mount Rushmore underneath, parallel to the Hollywood sign. The drawing depicted front and center are four musicians facing the chaotic happenings. One of the musicians holds a microphone and looks over his shoulder with a smirk. In great big letters that look like rocks, "Big Ole Album" reads out, matching the small letters that look like rocks and read "Vol. 1" on the bottom right corner.
