Pearl Jam is an American rock band that formed in Seattle, Washington, in 1990. Since its inception, the band's line-up has included Eddie Vedder (vocals), Stone Gossard (guitar), Jeff Ament (bass), and Mike McCready (guitar). The band's fourth and current drummer is Matt Cameron, also of Soundgarden, who has been with the band since 1998.
Incubus guitarist Michael Einziger has revealed that he is working on the new Pearl Jam album. We found this out (how else ?) from his twitter, where he posted: “In the studio with my girl and Eddie Vedder, recording strings for Pearl Jam’s new album.” I’m really curious about this Pearl Jam album, apparently it [...]
There’s a new player in the select club of supergroups – with members of Pearl Jam, Guns N’ Roses and Screaming Trees already joining in. Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready has joined forces with former Guns N’ Roses member Duff McKagan and former Screaming Trees drummer Barrett Martin for a brand new but still unnamed band. [...]

I may be a month (or two) late with this, but oh well…. ————– I was five when “Smells Like Teen Spirit” was released and “altered the face of the 90s.” Or made Kurt the voice of Gen X’ers. Or however it’s being described this week. I wasn’t able to appreciate its meteoric rise to [...]
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. What does matter is that Brad – side project of feared Pearl Jam guitarist and turtle-fondler, [...]
Courtesy of an intentional leak or not (we couldn’t care less, right?), we’ve managed to get ahold of a brand new Pearl Jam song called, “Better Days”, some sort of remnant from the 2002 Riot Act album sessions. The song was posted on the Monkey Wrench Records site where two members of the band’s management [...]

Partying and ridiculously awesome music (and a LOT of alcohol) can make Halloween a tolerable experience, in an atmosphere dominated by lame costumes and pathetic pranks. This weekend, some lucky concert goers were met with a few surprise appearances by their favorite bands in some peculiar formats. At The Ryman, my favorite bluegrass ensemble played [...]

If you were lucky enough to have attended Pearl Jam’s show in L.A. on October 6, then you know that Temple of the Dog reunited for one song, “Hunger Strike,” when Chris Cornell joined the band onstage. It marks the first time in six years that all the members have shared a stage. The footage [...]
