Bad Religion's "How Could Hell Be Any Worse?" turns 37 years old today


"How Could Hell Be Any Worse?" is the first full-length album by American punk rock band Bad Religion, released on January 19, 1982 by Epitaph Records. Released almost a year after their self-titled EP, it was financed by a $3,000 loan by guitarist Brett Gurewitz's father. Its success surprised the band when it sold 10,000 copies in under a year.
