- Drill Your Own Hole is the debut album by British grebo and psychedelic rock band Gaye Bykers on Acid, released in 1987 on Virgin Records, becoming their first release for the label after signing to them in late 1986. After building up momentum through a couple of EPs in 1986, the band recorded Drill Your Own Hole with producer Alex Fergusson, mostly in South London. Seven of the songs on the album were also featured in an accompanying film, also called Drill Your Own Hole, that the band released alongside the album. The film was a parody of themselves and the music industry. The music on the album displays the band's "mish-mash" of influences and styles and has become regarded as one of the first grebo albums. The album was a mild commercial success, spending one week at number 95 in the UK Albums Chart in November 1987. Initial quantities of the vinyl version of Drill Your Own Hole were pressed without a hole in the centre, so it was necessary to literally drill your own hole to play it. The album received critical acclaim from music critics, with praise aimed at the lighthearted humour and musical style, although its critical standing has somewhat diminished slightly in recent years.
