Pearl Jam really hit the Target with their Cameron Crowe directed video for “The Fixer” the other day, and today we get studio sounds from that track’s b-side, “Supersonic.” (It also appears as track 8 on the Backspacer LP.) “Supersonic” pairs well with “The Fixer” — another quick shot of PJ trying to demonstrate they’re vital(ogy) despite their years via uptempo power chords, a quick riffed bridge giving McCready a shred showcase, and EdVed asking big, defiant questions and saying the word “shit.” Rock.
Thanks for the tip, Ben. And if you’re wondering how it sounds live, here’s the first live performance last week in London:
Backspacer is out 9/20.

Mankind meets the Ramones in the best way possible. Good stuff.
Me like.
This album looks to be a good rock album form what has leaked so far. Pearl Jam really deserves some respect, love that tstyel of rock or not.
Yes – their needs to be someone carrying the pure guitar rock mantle. Pearl Jam is it.
Guitar rock – by it’s very nature is not amenable to the innovative new sounds that citics love, but there is a FEEL in their that can not be replicated. PJ accomplishes this exquisitely and at an extremely high level. Long live sweaty guitar rock!

Not bad, puts me in mind of Yield. That’s a good thing, by the way.
wicked tune
“I’m not the paper
More like a fold
I cut the crease
Put the shit in the hole YEAH!”
All the comments are ironic, right? Pearl Jam is awesome! Am I doing it right?
No we’re not McG, douchebag.
MK – you must have been the ironic hipster guy next to me at the Animal Collective show I fell asleep at 2 weeks ago?
These guys have still got it!
I thought that they just may have got their mojo back with The Fixer, then Supersonic confirmed any doubts.
Sounds like everything Fogerty has ever written but 10 BPMs faster.
