How Could Hell Be Any Worse?

Bad Religion

A landmark of 1982 Southern California hardcore. Raw, high-speed, and intellectually restless, it captures the sound of a band inventing melodic punk in real time.

January 12, 1982 · Epitaph

Find on Amazon

A frantic, soot-stained exploration of existential dread and urban decay delivered with high-speed precision.
