Pearl Jam to Strike With 'Lightning Bolt'


Band will release new album on October 15th

The countdown on Pearl Jam's website has finally hit zero and with it comes news that the band will release their 10th studio album, Lightning Bolt, on October 15th. The album cut "Mind Your Manners" is also available for your listening pleasure, and you can now pre-order Lightning Bolt as well.

Helmed by the band's longtime producer Brandon O'Brien (who's also worked with artists including Bruce Springsteen, Audioslave and the Gaslight Anthem), Lighting Bolt follows up the band's last effort, 2009's Backspacer.
