Pearl Jam's new single, "The Fixer," made an abbreviated debut Tuesday, July 14, during Fox's broadcast of the Major League Baseball All-Star Game. The track officially goes to U.S. radio and digital retailers on Monday, July 20.
As previously reported, Target will be the exclusive big-box retailer in the United States for Pearl Jam's self-released ninth album Backspacer, due Sept. 20.
The clip for "The Fixer" was only a few seconds long, but it was long enough to discern catchy "yeah yeah yeah" shout-outs in its chorus and frontman Eddie Vedder imploring that when "something's gone, I want to fight to get it back again."
Pearl Jam's official Web site has begun taking pre-orders for CD and vinyl versions of Backspacer as well as a 7-inch single for "The Fixer" backed with "Got Some," which the band debuted June 1 on The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien.
The order page confirms the 11-track contents of Backspacer, which features three songs recently premiered during Vedder's U.S. solo tour: "Unthought Known," "Speed of Sound" and "The End."
As previously reported, Pearl Jam will return to the road August 8 in Calgary, Alberta, and has dates on tap through October 30 in Philadelphia. Reportedly added to the itinerary is a rare small venue show on August 11 at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire. U.K. retailer HMV is currently advertising a ticket presale offer which fans can enter by preordering Backspacer via the HMV website.

"Gonna See My Friend"
