Pearl Jam And Alice In Chains Side Project Gets New Life

Pearl Jam And Alice In Chains Side Project Gets New Life

Mad Season, a side project from members of Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains, have announced plans to release a slate of tracks recorded back in the 1990's.

Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready announced that a number of Mad Season recordings from the mid-90's were going to finally see the light of day. The original lineup of the band featured Lane Staley, McCready, John Baker Saunders and Screaming Trees' Barrett Martin. The band formed to record some songs, but eventually, Staley went back to Alice in Chains and McCready reunited with Pearl Jam.

"We're looking into re-releasing some Mad Season music that I did with Layne Staley before he died and John Baker Saunders," McCready recently told WFPK. "We're gonna re-release ['Above'], hopefully by the end of the year and put a live concert out — and also we have 13 unreleased songs we never did.

Screaming Trees frontman Mark Lanegan has signed on to sing.
