Pearl Jam is an American rock band that formed in Seattle, Washington in 1990.
The band's original line-up consisted of Eddie Vedder (lead vocals), Jeff Ament (bass),
Stone Gossard (rhythm guitar), Mike McCready (lead guitar), and Dave Krusen (drums).
The band's current drummer is Matt Cameron, formerly of Soundgarden, who has been with
the band since 1998.
Formed after the demise of Ament and Gossard's previous band Mother Love Bone, Pearl
Jam broke into the mainstream with its debut album Ten. One of the key bands of the grunge
movement in the early 1990s, Pearl Jam was nevertheless criticized early on as being a
corporate cash-in on the alternative rock explosion. However, its members became noted
for their refusal to adhere to traditional music industry practices as their career progressed,
including refusing to make music videos and engaging in a much-publicized boycott of Ticketmaster.
Rolling Stone described the band as having "spent much of the past decade deliberately tearing
apart their own fame."
