The first single, "Mind Your Manners" was released on July 11, 2013. Lightning Bolt follows up Backspacer, which was released in September 2009. The album was produced by long-time Pearl Jam producer Brendan O'Brien and is scheduled to be released on Monkeywrench Records/Republic Records through Universal Music.
Pearl Jam’s instrumental role in shaping the ’90s grunge movement was only the first step in the band’s ground-breaking career. In the two decades since debuting with <i>Ten</i>, they’ve bucked every convention in the music industry to cut their own path as rock ’n’ roll outsiders with distinct vision. The heart-racing backbeat and distorted guitar riffs of “Mind Your Manners” make a forceful introduction to the group’s tenth studio album.
