History
Between 1988 and 1989, Pearl Jam's vocalist Eddie Vedder was the singer.
They released a 4-song tape and were a popular live band in Southern California, but never released a record on a major label.
In 1989, the band won the annual battle of the bands contest held by San Diego radio station, 91X.
After Vedder left, original band vocalist Keith Wood replaced him, and the band relocated to Hollywood. At this time, Dawn Richardson took over as drummer. She later became the drummer for 4 Non Blondes.
While in Bad Radio, Vedder wrote the song Better Man which would become one of his future band, Pearl Jam's biggest hits.
