The group were known for combining the musical stylings of punk rock, psychedelic rock, and even pop music with their songs. The band released a total of nine full-length studio albums across their entire career before they band broke up in early 1998. On Friday, April 12, 2019 the band reunited to play at Johnny Brenda’s in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. History The band emerged in 1987 from the edgy punk scene of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

Later on, the duo would meet keyboardist Dan McKinney and drummer Dave Ferrara, and the quintet would name them ...

The album was intended to be a break into mainstream music for the band, but the record sold poorly among its initial release.

Critical reception The ''Los Angeles Times'' called the album a "sparkling 24-song marathon ... that ranges more widely through ‘60s sources," writing that "none of these borrowings sounds stale, because of the sheer vigor and immediacy the band is able to bring to familiar styles."

Self Destruct (album)
''Self Destruct'' is the third album by the American garage punk band the Original Sins. It was released in 1990 through Psonik Records. The CD version of the album included bonus tracks that originally appeared from their 1990 "Coca-Cola" 7" single. Critical reception The ''Chicago Tribune'' wrote that "John Terlesky's gravelly, abandoned vocals once again ride over searing guitar (with more than a few psychedelic/bluesy accents) and organ, bass and drums that are welded into blasts of raw rock 'n' roll sound." ''The New York Times'' determined that "the music is dense, droning pop, through which J. T.'s guitar and ragged vocals cut, gag, stumble and scream." In 1998, ''The Philadelphia Inquirer'' deemed the album "fat-bottomed psychedelic metal."

Skeletons In The Garage
A skeleton is the structural frame that supports the body of an animal. There are several types of skeletons, including the exoskeleton, which is the stable outer shell of an organism, the endoskeleton, which forms the support structure inside the body, and the hydroskeleton, a flexible internal skeleton supported by fluid pressure. Vertebrates are animals with a vertebral column, and their skeletons are typically composed of bone and cartilage. Invertebrates are animals that lack a vertebral column. The skeletons of invertebrates vary, including hard exoskeleton shells, plated endoskeletons, or spicules. Cartilage is a rigid connective tissue that is found in the skeletal systems of vertebrates and invertebrates. Etymology The term ''skeleton'' comes . ''Sceleton'' is an archaic form of the word.

LP Record
The LP (from "long playing" or "long play") is an analog sound storage medium, a phonograph record format characterized by: a speed of  rpm; a 12- or 10-inch (30- or 25-cm) diameter; use of the "microgroove" groove specification; and a vinyl (a copolymer of vinyl chloride acetate) composition disk. Introduced by Columbia in 1948, it was soon adopted as a new standard by the entire record industry. Apart from a few relatively minor refinements and the important later addition of stereophonic sound, it remained the standard format for record albums (during a period in popular music known as the album era) until its gradual replacement from the 1980s to the early 2000s, first by cassettes, then by compact discs, and finally by digital music distribution. Beginning in the late 2000s, the LP has experienced a resurgence in popularity. Format advantages At the time the LP was introduced, nearly all phonograph records for home use were made of an abrasive shellac compound ...

Special Edition
The terms special edition, limited edition, and variants such as deluxe edition, or collector's edition, are used as a marketing incentive for various kinds of products, originally published products related to the arts, such as books, prints, recorded music and films, and videogames, but now including clothing, cars, fine wine, and whisky, among other products. A limited edition is restricted in the number of copies produced, although in fact the number may be very low or very high. Suzuki (2008) defines limited edition products as those “sold in a state that makes them difficult to obtain because of companies limiting their availability to a certain period, quantity, region, or channel". A special edition implies there is extra material of some kind included. The term is frequently used on DVD film releases, often when the so-called "special" edition is actually the only version released. Collector's edition Collector's edition may just be another term for special edition a ...
