## Summary

Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament has announced a new photography book, "Since Forever", collecting more than 250 previously unseen images from the band's early years. Made with his brother, designer Barry Ament, the visual memoir pairs Jeff's black-and-white photographs with personal reflections, offering an insider's account of the band's rise from Seattle's alternative scene to global success during the grunge era.

The 9" x 12" hardcover book centres on images shot between 1990 and 1998, around 90% of which have never before been made public, spanning backstage moments, studio sessions and life on tour. Ament said the project began as an attempt to preserve deteriorating 30-year-old negatives before Barry proposed turning them into a book. It is available for pre-order via Pearl Jam's official website and will reach independent bookshops on 25 September, with further book events featuring the two brothers to be announced in the coming weeks.
