Pearl Jam’s ‘Wreckage’ Takes Aim at Trump’s Election Denial

Pearl Jam has released a new single, ‘Wreckage,’ which frontman Eddie Vedder says is a critique of former President Donald Trump’s ongoing claims that he did not lose the 2020 election. Vedder describes Trump as ‘a guy in the United States who is still saying he didn’t lose an election,’ and the song’s lyrics address the dangers of Trump’s rhetoric and his attempts to divide Americans. This is not the first time Pearl Jam has taken on Trump; their 2018 track ‘Can’t Deny Me’ is also believed to be about Trump.
