A New Album by Painted Shield

 Today Painted Shield's socials tweeted out a five-second video of Aleppo, Syria and a date, 7/1.  Is this an activist message or the announcement of a new album?

I Hear Ya - The Video

I Should Be Outside

 

Jeff Ament has been, without a doubt, the most prolific member of Pearl Jam over the course of COVID.  He's released nearly an album worth of material during the pandemic, and apparently he's got another album's worth, because today, he announced that his fourth solo album is on the way.

There is no word on exactly when you'll be able to pre-order the album, but right now, you can get the first single and a B-side, "I Hear Ya" and "Bandwidth," (both featuring Matt Chamberlain on drums).  You can get digital copies of the songs or a 7" vinyl single ($10 + $6.45 domestic S&H).

Jeff says to watch pearljam.com and his new Instagram site for news about the album and an upcoming video for "I Hear Ya."

Montana Pool Ale

 

Pearl Jam fans now have a new way to quench their thirst in Montana.  Kettlehouse Brewing Company is releasing Montana Pool Ale, a pale ale benefiting Jeff Ament's Montana Pool Service, which builds skateparks in underserved communities throughout Montana.  

The beer, the third Pearl Jam-themed beer in our memory, is timed to coincide with Pearl Jam's streaming release of their 2018 Missoula concert.

The beer is debuting today at KettleHouse's two taprooms: one in Bonner and one in Missoula. However, four-packs of 16-ounce cans and draft kegs will soon be available throughout Montana, eastern Washington, and northern Idaho-hopefully in time for the streaming event.

Stip's Interview with the State of Love and Trust Pod

I recently sat down for an interview with Jason and Paul at the State of Love and Trust Podcast.  Check out my interview here!

Jason and Paul are joined by Brian "Stip" Stipelman, long time contributor to the fan site The Sky I Scrape and moderator to its message board Red Mosquito. Herein lies a discussion about Stip's past with the site/forum as well as his own personal history with our favorite band and how the Pearl Jam fanbase has evolved as the band has. Stip sticks around to discuss the Lyric and Live Cut of the Week - Dissident.
