New Pearl Jam - "Supersonic"
Pearl Jam really hit the Target with their Cameron Crowe directed video for "The Fixer" the other day, and today we get studio sounds from that track's b-side, "Supersonic." (It also appears as track 8 on the Backspacer LP.) "Supersonic" pairs well with "The Fixer" -- another quick shot of PJ trying to demonstrate they're vital(ogy) despite their years via uptempo power chords, a quick riffed bridge giving McCready a shred showcase, and EdVed asking big, defiant questions and saying the word "shit." Rock.
Thanks for the tip, Ben. And if you're wondering how it sounds live, here's the first live performance last week in London:
Backspacer is out 9/20.

Yes - their needs to be someone carrying the pure guitar rock mantle. Pearl Jam is it.
Guitar rock - by it's very nature is not amenable to the innovative new sounds that citics love, but there is a FEEL in their that can not be replicated. PJ accomplishes this exquisitely and at an extremely high level. Long live sweaty guitar rock!

I thought that they just may have got their mojo back with The Fixer, then Supersonic confirmed any doubts.

Sounds like everything Fogerty has ever written but 10 BPMs faster.
