Heard about this on my local rock station, and even though this is a crappy report, this is the only writeup i could find:

Bust out your flannel shirts, Soundgarden has reunited!! Frontman Chris Cornell took to his Twitter account to make the official announcement that the band is back together. Or as he put it "The 12 year break is over & school is back in session. Sign up now. Knights of the Soundtable ride again. http://www.soundgardenworld.com."
Soundgarden enjoyed much of its success as " Seattle grunge" music reigned supreme on the charts in the mid-90's. The band's break-through album,SuperUnknown,was propelled by hit singles in "Spoonman," "The Day I Tried to Live," and of course, "Black Hole Sun." To this day, the video for "Black Hole Sun" still creeps me out like no other.
It's rumored Soundgarden has planned a west coast tour for the spring and are considering a performance at Cochella. No details have been released yet, but if you visit their new site you can sign up for alerts on the band.
Now, I've given Cornell crap in the past with his solo releases, but have to say I'm stoked to hear the band has reunited. Cornell has one of the greatest voices in rock music - glad he'll be using it again. For good measure, check out the video for "Black Hole Sun" - after the jump -- creepy!!

Personally? I'm fucking stoked. I loved soundgarden back in the day. Here's hoping he follows through.

I hope they go back to their "Louder Than Love" days. Cornell better keep his solo career faggotry to himself.

There's been so many reunions over the past few years which the thought of got me happy in the pants, but ended up as such a let-down. As much as I want to get excited, I don't want to get upset again Also, bands reuniting and making new material = yay, nostalgia trips and cash-ins = D:

Well we were all pleasantly surprised with Alice in Chains' new album. Soundgarden is, arguably, just as talented as Alice In Chains.

Isn't Rage Against The Machine getting back together too?

I think RATM was only getting back together until Bush was out of office. I'd be happy with this reunion if they just toured and played nothing but Badmotorfinger and Superunknown from start to finish. I enjoyed the new Alice in Chains album.

Last year I was thinking it would be so awesome for Soundgarden to reunite and now they are! I am so getting tickets when they come to CA.
