Back in the spotlight after the reissue of their landmark debut ‘Ten’, Eddie Vedder and co. get everything ready for the release of their ninth studio album, ‘Backpacker’. Its first single, ‘The Fixer’, has just hit radio stations across the globe. A Surprisingly radio-friendly tune with power pop riffs that get the grunge masters close to Foo Fighters territory.
However, the track was not the first unveiled from Pearl Jam’s latest opus. A few weeks ago, as part of US TV host Conan O’Brien’s new “Tonight Show”, the veteran five-piece switched on the promotional machine with a live rendition of “Got Some”, a harder number much more in tune with their original sound.
