25 years ago today, Porno for Pyros, featuring half of Janes Addiction, released their self titled debut LP. Perry Farrell and Stephen Perkins, were joined by guitarist Peter DiStefano and future Jane’s Addiction bassist Martyn LeNoble, and continued under the new band name Porno for Pyros.The band (and album) name is a reference to the 1992 Los Angeles riots, which are mentioned throughout the songs on the album as a recurring theme. The band scored a modern rock #1 single with “Pets,” but rest of the album had many strong points including the edgy “Cursed Female”.. check it out below…
