Tribute band Pearl Jamm answers to a cease-and-desist letter from Pearl Jam: You have broken our hearts

Pearl Jam have reportedly sent a cease and desist to tribute band Pearl Jamm, demanding the cover act destroy merchandise and hand over email addresses and web domains because, as the letter says - the tribute band’s name is “damaging the Pearl Jam brand and causing confusion” among fans. The tribute band was, is appears, surprised - “no one’s ever come to a show, got to the end of the show, came to us and demanded money back because they were expecting to see Pearl Jam play The Garage in Highbury,” one band member tells BBC. They sent their favorite band a letter telling them they have "broken our hearts" adding "It may have been easier, cheaper and more effective for one of you to reach out to us personally. We would have done that for you. But not like this. Your actions are out of character and unreasonable yet our love for the music endures". Blabbermouth tells the sad story.
