This is My Drug Hell is the first studio album by British rock group My Drug Hell. The album was recorded in London's all analogue Toe Rag studios - later made famous by the White Stripes' No 1 album Elephant. After a series of setbacks including the loss of half the original mixes due to a faulty tape machine and the bankruptcy of their UK record label two weeks before its intended release date, This Is My Drug Hell was finally released in 1996 and went on to spend 3 months in the US college radio charts as well as making the national Specialty Show Top 10. The album yielded four UK singles - 2am, You Were Right, I Was Wrong, Maybe We Could Fly and Girl at the Bus Stop - the latter becoming Number 1 Most Requested on every US commercial station to playlist it including a record-breaking ten week run on WHTG in New Jersey and several UK Single of the Weeks including shows on XFM, GLR and Radio 1. The song also won a 'Best Video' vote on MTV's Alternative Nation and was used in a Miller Beer TV commercial as well as two feature films (Origin of the Species and Black Circle Boys.)
