Quotes, info & rumors:

Apr. 05.2007 (Billboard): Mike McCready has revealed that after the last tour ended, band members have been demoing material on their own while staying in occasional contact via email and that he has tested out some ideas with guitarist Stone Gossard and drummer Matt Cameron in separate sessions as well. Talking about future Pearl Jam projects, McCready has said that Pearl Jam has "no set date" for returning to the studio and added: "When we get it all together, we'll decide to do a record. That may be a year from now or half-a-year from now".

Oct. 2007: Insisting, unconfirmed and unofficial rumors report that Pearl Jam will be back in studio in spring 2008 to work on a new album.

Feb. 03.2008: Jeff Ament appeared at a Seattle Sonics basketball game. Interviewed by announcer Kevin Calabro, Ament revealed that Pearl Jam are "gonna get together here in a couple of weeks and try and write some stuff" for the Seattle band's ninth studio album.

Feb. 15.2008: Billboard has confirmed that before Vedder hits the road with his US solo tour in April, Pearl Jam is expected to regroup and start sketching out material for its next studio album.

Mar. 11.2008: Rolling Stone reports that Ed Vedder has spent the winter surfing in Oahu, writing and hanging with his wife and three-year-old daughter. “It's a good place to be in a screwed-up world,” Vedder said. “The water is where I get most of my thinking done, and the writing just starts happening.”

Mar. 21.2008: Billboard has confirmed that a couple weeks ago, band members got together for eight days to begin kicking around ideas for the next Pearl Jam album, although Ament cautions, "It doesn't mean there'll be a record our next month, but it's the start of the process. Sometimes it takes six months and sometimes it takes two years." He also added, "It's just fun to play. We've actually gotten really good at jamming with each other, so it's fun to get together and crank up the amps. We'll have (drummer) Matt (Cameron) throw a beat at us and try to come up with something. There's some new, different kind of things coming out of people." Stone Gossard also commented: "We're just getting into it, which is so exciting. We have no idea where it's going but we have a lot of great little starts."
