Porno for Pyros (album)

Common card · No. 462934

Porno for Pyros is the debut studio album by the American alternative rock band Porno for Pyros, released on April 27, 1993, through Warner Bros. Records. Porno for Pyros emerged following the first break-up of Jane's Addiction, after the departures of guitarist Dave Navarro and bassist Eric Avery in 1991. The remaining Jane's Addiction members, Perry Farrell and Stephen Perkins, would form a new band the following year, joined by guitarist Peter DiStefano and future Jane's Addiction bassist Martyn LeNoble. 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 album was certified gold in the US by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and contains the No. 1 Modern Rock Tracks single "Pets".
