Pearl Jam, formed in 1990, consists of Eddie Vedder who is well-known for his deep and prominent vocals, Jeff Ament (bass), Stone Gossard (guitars), Mike Mc Cready (guitars) and former Soundgarden drummer, Matt Cameron.
One of the most notable grunge bands in the 1990s, Pearl Jam broke into the American grunge scene with its debut album Ten which spawned various hits including one of the band’s most poignant songs to date, Jeremy.
Written by Vedder and Ament, the song was inspired by a true story of a boy of the same name who took his life in front of his school friends.
The band is highly regarded as one of the most influential bands of the ‘90s. The members are known for their dedication to environmental causes and health issues.
