EPIC/LEGACY

Pearl Jam is an alternative rock band from Seattle, Washington. They gained international fame with their album "Ten" and the hit single 'Alive'. Despite the decline of the grunge scene, Pearl Jam continued to produce experimental music with a nearly unchanged lineup. They have collaborated with various drummers over the years, including Matt Cameron from Soundgarden. The band members also pursued side projects such as Brad and Mad Season. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017.
Formed from previous bands Mother Love Bone and Temple of the Dog, Pearl Jam quickly rose to stardom in the 90s. Although their popularity waned when grunge fell out of fashion, they remained dedicated to creating innovative music.
Their lineup has seen several drummers come and go, but they found stability with Matt Cameron who also plays for Soundgarden. Additionally, Pearl Jam had notable collaborations like backing Neil Young on his album "[m=38666]".

Back In Stock

Pearl Jam were in a dark place when they began cutting Riot Act in early 2002.

They were still reeling from the accidental death of nine fans at the 2000 Roskilde Festival, and the 9/11 terrorist attacks were just five months in the past. The result is a rather dark album that was released with little hype. No song on the album sounds even remotely like a commercial single, though songs like "I Am Mine," "Love Boat Captain" and "Thumbing My Way" are quite beautiful. George W. Bush was near the peak of his popularity, but Eddie had the balls to write "Bu$hleaguer," a scathing indictment of the president who was "born on third, thinks he got a triple." The disc also marked the first effort with organist Kenneth "Boom" Gaspar; he's been with them ever since. The group took a four-year recording break after Riot Act, and when they emerged, they seemed a little less afraid of pop hooks.
