Guest idrn Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 i have a new EP coming out on Swishcotheque. it was finished about a year ago, and in the last 7-8 months i've been handing out CDs with the image printed onto it at shows. the image has been available online all this time. my EP cover; klaxons new album cover; what the fuck?

oscillik Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 there are blatant similarities, but unfortunately i know exactly how their legal team would respond if you were to try to take this further. what can i say? the music industry is fucked. in all ways.

Guest idrn Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 http://www.google.com/images?q=space+cat good point, succinctly made the coincidence and timing has really fucked me off though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscillik Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 to be fair, i don't see idrn's cover as a space cat, more of a fighter pilot cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oscillik Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 to be fair, i don't see idrn's cover as a space cat, more of a fighter pilot cat. spot on! very much reminds me of this but that's just me. edit: also, i don't know how anyone else could've gotten "space cat" from the Turbo Kisu EP cover :-/ but i am a pretentious cunt, so...

Guest idrn Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 we can get hung up on the helmets, but they are generally intergalactic cats. here is the back cover; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 I like that image better. The cats expression is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoodie Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 damn, your covers look a lot more professional than the klaxons'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superstix Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 That's what I was thinking too. Way more stylized and generally cooler looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GrandPopPoplock Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 I don't know , man lol But hey , at least your cover looks better ( epic back cover ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root5 Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Looks like you and the klaxons both had the same idea, but you pulled it off way better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manmower Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Except fighter pilot cat's wearing a helmet at least twice the size of its head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest analogue wings Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Don't think they particularly ripped you off, there are plenty of cat pics related to astronauts on the internets, that's so fucked. I'd like the punch whoever did that to the cat right in the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springymajig Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 It might be a fairly generic idea but I think you've done a really good job of it... the textures and colours are really nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Did Ghinzu (a belgian cold-rock band) rip off Battle's Mirrored cover ? vs. Definitely yes. Same with the name. BUT Ghinzu's studio is in a mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purlieu Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Funnily enough, I was asked to write the release info for this. But I didn't get around to it. Small world. Nice cover though. That Klaxons one is awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QBLA Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 i like everything about your cover except for the cat. probably would've been better with just the mirror visor thing down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
