News: Pearl Jam
Listen To Pearl Jam’s ‘Cready Stomp’
In addition to planning a new album, various solo projects and more, Seattle grunge survivors Pearl Jam are celebrating their 20th anniversary with a box-set reissue of their first two albums, Vs. and Vitalogy. That also means the unearthing of sounds from the band that we’ve never heard – one of which we’ve got for you today.
The reissue releases (which we’ll be giving away here very shortly) showcase a sampling of previously unreleased material, including an instrumental gem called Cready Stomp that’s been making the unannounced YouTube rounds for a week or so. It captures the untethered, raw sound the band enjoyed through the first few years of their existence – an exciting departure from the introspective metaphor overloads of the present day. Have a listen below:
One could only wonder what kind of vocals Vedder would’ve come up with for this barn-burner, soaked in reverb and turned to 11. Either way, keep your eye on PearlJam.com for release details, new album news and more. Or just stay right here on Antiquiet – naturally, we’ll be bringing you all you need to know in the PJ world.
Bonus: Have a listen to a couple gems from last year – Pearl Jam covering Neil Young’s Walk With Me and Patti Smith’s Dancing Barefoot. Listen here.
I’ll take a copy of the reissue :-)
This was with Dave Abbruzzese (sp) on drums, right? Fierce stuff, ”classic’ Pearl Jammyness. I actually like PJs little forays into instrumentals.
Awesome little jamb, but its begging for a solo.
I’m always pleased with Pearl Jam instrumentals. It makes me wonder when we’ll hear EVERYTHING they’ve put to tape. If it’s as explosive as this, we’re in for a treat.
Goddamn this kicks ass and takes names
Like Cody said, this should have been overdubbed like the Lost Dogs version of Brother. Still awesome though.
Ridiculous. The Lost Dogs version of Brother was a vocals-free travesty. Cut the balls entirely off the song.
Pearl Jam rocks. Can’t wait to get “Vs.” and “Vitalogy” reissues on the 29th. Check them out: http://www.pearljam.com/goods.
