The alternative rock quartet
Edison
formed in Altoona, Pennsylvania in 1992. Comprised of
vocalist/guitarist Ryan Tyler, guitarist Shawn Shultz, bassist Chris
McConnell and drummer T.J. Lipple, the group honed its muscular sound on
the Altoona club circuit before graduating to Philadelphia, Pittsburgh
and eventually New York; during a performance at CBGB's, the band came
to the attention of Kinetic Records founder Steve Lau, who signed
Edison to the label a short time later. After cutting a pair of singles in the fall of 1996 with producer
Wharton Tiers, the band teamed with
Jawbox's J. Robbins to record their 1997 full-length debut
Picture Postcard.
