Prior to the release of United Nations' self-titled debut album in 2008, Never Mind the Bombings, Here's Your Six Figures was announced to be the group's second album and follow up to United Nations. The EP was expected to face copyright issues for sharing a similar name and cover art to Sex Pistols' 1977 studio album Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols.[7][8] The artwork for the EP was created by the Australian artist Ben Frost,[8] and designed by Converge vocalist Jacob Bannon.[9]
