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

As Pearl Jam evolved from a small group of friends in Seattle to one of the most impactful bands of their generation, founding member and bassist Jeff Ament began photographing their time backstage, in the studio, and on the road.

Ament revisited his archive of decomposing negatives with his brother, designer Barry Ament, a few years ago. The rediscovery of these precious images led to their new book, Since Forever, a visual journey capturing the band’s friendship and creativity as they rose to fame. A press release notes that the collection draws largely from previously unreleased images and features “candid moments of creativity, camaraderie, and the enduring relationships that helped sustain the band” throughout the decades.

“If there was a goal, it was mostly to save the failing 30 year old negatives. It was Barry’s idea to make a book,” Ament said in a statement. “Ninety percent of these photos have never been seen before,” he added. ”Anybody who’s a PJ fan or a fan of what was going on in the 90s will dig it.

Since Forever is set to hit stands on Sept. 25, 2026. Jeff and Barry Ament are scheduled to kick off a book tour at Ohana Festival on Sept. 25 and 27 at Ohana Festival in Dana Point, California.
