Jane's Addiction is an iconic American rock band from Los Angeles, California, which first made a significant impact in the late 1980s with their fusion of punk, metal, and psychedelic rock. The band was formed in 1985 by Perry Farrell (vocals), Dave Navarro (guitar), Eric Avery (bass), and Stephen Perkins (drums). Jane's Addiction is credited with leading the alternative rock movement of the early 1990s with their groundbreaking albums and intense live performances, thereby laying the groundwork for the genre's explosion into the mainstream.

Their 1988 release, "Nothing's Shocking," marked the band's major label debut and showcased their avant-garde style and theatrical bravado, helping to establish them as a seminal force in alternative rock. This was further solidified with the 1990 release of "Ritual De Lo Habitual," an album that achieved commercial success and spawned hits such as "Been Caught Stealing" and "Stop!" The band's intermittent activity over the years has seen a series of reunions and hiatuses, with albums like "Strays" in 2003 and "The Great Escape Artist" in 2011 reflecting their enduring influence and ability to evolve. Known for their raw energy and artsy flamboyance, Jane's Addiction's key contributions to the alternative rock scene are commemorated with live recordings like "Alive at Twenty-Five - Ritual De Lo Habitual Live" and "Live in NYC," which capture the band's dynamic performance style and musical prowess that have captivated fans for decades.
