Pearl Jam’s Jeff Ament To Release “Since Forever” Photo Book In September
Pearl Jam’s Jeff Ament has announced a new photo book titled “Since Forever.” The effort will be released on September 25 and it can be pre-ordered HERE.
More info was shared in a press release:
“For decades, Pearl Jam founding member and bassist Jeff Ament has photographed the people, places, and moments that inspire him. A few years ago he began working through his archive of decomposing negatives with his brother, acclaimed designer Barry Ament. Their efforts led to Since Forever, a deeply personal visual journal of creativity, friendship, and life on the road.
This 9″ x 12″ hardcover volume features more than 250 black-and-white photographs, accompanied by wry insights, observations, and personal reflections from Ament.
“If there was a goal, it was mostly to save the failing 30 year old negatives. It was Barry’s idea to make a book,” explains Ament.“Historically, my family will often get together by creating some kind of project or job. And in some ways, putting together this book was a job for Barry and me – a reason to hang out. Most of these photos are from 1990 to 1998. He was there for a lot of it. If he wasn’t, he was next door or a phone call away.”
Drawn largely from previously unreleased images, the collection offers a rare and intimate look at the formative years of Pearl Jam as they evolved from a small group of friends into one of the most influential bands of their generation. From backstage and in the studio to the countless miles between stages, Ament‘s photographs capture candid moments of creativity, camaraderie, and the enduring relationships that helped sustain the band through its meteoric rise.
At once a visual memoir, and a behind-the-scenes chronicle, the book reveals how relationships, travel, joy, and need contribute to the creative process. Since Forever reveals Ament‘s unique perspective as both participant and observer of a defining time period in music and American culture.
“Ninety percent of these photos have never been seen before,” Ament says. ”Anybody who’s a PJ fan or a fan of what was going on in the 90s will dig it.
Since Forever is available for pre-order now at pearljam.com. It will officially hit select independent bookstores on September 25, 2026.
Details about Since Forever book events with Jeff and Barry Ament in select cities will be announced in the coming weeks .To kick off these events, the Ament brothers will be speaking about the book on the Storytellers Stage at Ohana Festival on September 25th and 27th.”

Soundgarden Begin Mixing Final Album With The Late Chris Cornell
During a recent appearance on Dean Delray‘s “Let There Be Talk” podcast, Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron offered an update on the band’s final album with the late Chris Cornell. According to him, Joe Barresi has started mixing the effort.
Cameron said the following about the new music:
“We’d been sending demos back and forth since, like, 2013, ’14, something like that. I would send Chris some stuff. He would rearrange it, make a song out of it… I sent him three tracks, and then he would sing on top of the instrumentals that I’d written and rearrange them and everything. And then we started getting together in, like, 2015, ’16 at a couple of different studios, so we were preparing to make another album before that last tour in 2017.
We recorded all the rehearsals and everything. And we did start writing a bunch of stuff together. But the stuff we’re working on now was from when… We are using some of the live rehearsal stuff, like some of the guitar stuff that Chris played guitar on, and then we’re using the vocals from these demos that he put together, with the music that we had written together. And, yeah, just kind of building on top of that.”
He also confirmed the album will have eight songs:
“Eight songs. I think that that’s pretty much all there is with vocals. We had some instrumentals left over that Kim wants work on. So maybe we’ll do some new stuff together, which would be fine by me.”
He continued when asked about release plans:
“Well, we don’t really have a [release] date yet. We’re just gonna try to get this thing mixed, get it over the finish line, and then hopefully we’ll have a better idea what’s gonna come next. We’re just taking it one step at a time ’cause it’s been kind of a long process just to get to here.”
He also added the following when asked about the emotional aspect of working on the album:
“Well, I’d been listening to those demos since we recorded them together. And I always thought there’s three or four really, really strong songs. So, I’m really looking forward to getting it done and putting it out there. And I’m hoping the reaction won’t be too intense for people, but I know that it will be because it has been for us.
But I think at this stage of the game, we’ve been listening to it so much that I think we’ve built a little bit of a callus up to the emotional side of it, and we’re just trying to get all the tracks. And it sounds like Soundgarden. It’s just like we’re working on a Soundgarden album. We are.”
