Pearl Jam’s Early Years Revealed in New Intimate Photography Book

Rolling Stone · 13 hours ago

Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament is releasing a new photography book, *Since Forever*, which chronicles the band's early years through previously unseen images. The book stems from Ament's rediscovery, alongside his brother and designer Barry Ament, of a decaying archive of negatives he had shot backstage, in the studio and on the road as the band grew from a group of Seattle friends into one of their generation's most influential acts.

The collection largely comprises unreleased photographs, most taken between 1990 and 1998, and is described as capturing candid moments of creativity and camaraderie that sustained the band over the decades. Ament said the original aim was simply to preserve the failing 30-year-old negatives before his brother suggested turning them into a book, adding that "ninety percent" of the images have never been seen before. *Since Forever* is due out on 25 September 2026, with Jeff and Barry Ament launching a book tour that runs from 25 to 27 September at the Ohana Festival in Dana Point, California.
