Formed in Seattle in 1990, Pearl Jam were one of the pioneers of the alternative rock movement that changed music forever. Led by the frontman Eddie Vedder, their breakout debut album Ten, released in 1991, had a lasting impact on the scene, achieving mainstream success. They’ve inspired countless bands with their hits, including ‘Black’, ‘Jeremy’, ‘ Alive’ and ‘Rearviewmirror’.
The Stereophonics need no introduction, they are one of the biggest mainstream rock act out of the UK and have held that crown for the past 20 years. Since they formed in 1992 they have released twelve albums, their first album ‘Word Gets Around’ came out in 1997 and featured singles ‘Traffic’, ‘A Thousand Trees’ and ‘Local Boy in the Photograph’. Their debut album peaked at Number 6 on the UK album charts.
