PEARL JAM: New Single Snippet Posted Online

March 1, 2006

A 15-second chorus snippet of the new PEARL JAM single, "World Wide Suicide", has been posted online at www.fmqbproductions.com. The full track — which, according to Billboard.com, resembles the groove-driven 1998 single "Do the Evolution" — isn't due to impact stations until March 8.

According to Billboard.com, no other details have been confirmed about PEARL JAM's as-yet-untitled new album (due on May 2),which will be the band's studio debut for J Records. It's the follow-up to 2002's Epic swan song "Riot Act", which has sold less than 500,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

"It's been a difficult record and it's like sometimes the harder something is, then the more valuable it becomes," PEARL JAM singer Eddie Vedder said during a Brazilian radio interview last year.

"It's easily the best stuff we've done but also some of the hardest stuff. It's very aggressive, because again, it's kind of a product of what it's like to be an American these days. It's pretty aggressive, especially when you turn it loud."

Before the band gets busy with promotion and touring, guitarist Mike McCready will stage a March 18 benefit for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation at Seattle's Showbox. McCready will play with his UFO tribute band, FLIGHT TO MARS, on a bill that also features the SUPERSUCKERS and LEE RUDE AND THE TRAINWRECKS.
