Pearl Jam to release new single in July

In the words of guitarist Stone Gossard, the new album is “almost done” – so we really should be expecting something from them.

Brad LP Scoop. Er.

So that headline’s a pun on the name of famous Dirk Benedict impersonator, Bradley Cooper, but I fear it doesn’t work very well. I can “face” that fact, arf, etc. Never mind, though, because none of that even matters.
