Drill was the first commercial release of Radiohead, debuting on the UK charts at number 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 the tracks on the EP are demo versions, 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. The EP was 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.
Somewhat surprisingly, "Prove Yourself" was played on BBC Radio 1 by Gary Davies after he received a copy of the EP. This was the band's first national radio exposure in the UK.
The EP is now available as the first four tracks on the bonus disc of the Collector's Edition of Pablo Honey.
