The band is arranged in a casual, staggered line facing the camera against a very dark background illuminated only by softly blurred string lights overhead. The members are dressed in casual streetwear, with most wearing baseball caps and dark graphic t-shirts. In the center foreground, one member with a shaved head is wearing an open plaid flannel shirt layered over a light-colored t-shirt with a globe graphic and the text 'THE WORLD IS YOURS'.
