Escape to Mars with Pearl Jam with their new online video game

March 26, 2020March 25, 2020 Alan Cross 0 Comments Gigaton, Pearl Jam, Video Game

You gotta feel bad for Pearl Jam and their fans. After waiting seven years for a new studio album, the band and their base should be enjoying the new Gigaton album and tour in the traditional ways. But with COVID-19 screwing with everyone, we’re all having to come up with alternate plans.

Gigtaon will come out as scheduled tomorrow (March 27) but any public listening sessions and live performances will have to wait until this virus is vanquished.
