``This is Hell'' was the first recorded effort by The Bullphrogs . Its nine songs were described by one reviewer as ``surf-infused grind'' and simply as ``loud music'' by The Bullphrogs themselves.
This album was originally released as #001 on (now defunct) Vinyl Records of Pisgah, IA.
* This album was also released on LandPhil Records of Omaha, NE as LP002. (out of print)
