“Gavin Friday’s album cover, snapped by photographer Perry Ogden, takes on an added resonance when you consider its title and release date – Good Friday, April 22nd. The flag and the crucifix have had a sanctified place in Irish history and culture, and are inextricably linked with the military uniform Friday is wearing in the shot. If anything, the total image is like a visual representation of the best song to ever deal with Ireland’s various historical and religious malaises (The Radiators’ Song of the Faithful Departed ).”
