SEATTLE – Seattle rock band Pearl Jam announced Wednesday that it will release its eighth studio album in early May.
The self-titled CD follows 2002’s “Riot Act” and is their first release on their new label, J Records.
The album’s first single, “World Wide Suicide,” will be made available to radio stations Wednesday, and the same day the song will be available as a free download from the band’s Web site, www.pearljam.com.
Tour dates in support of “Pearl Jam” will be announced later this month, the band said.
Pearl Jam was formed in 1991 and rose to prominence during the Northwest’s early 1990s grunge movement. The band has sold nearly 60 million albums worldwide, including millions of live bootleg copies.
