About 311

For over three decades, 311 has been a sonic anomaly, a band defying easy categorization while cultivating an intensely loyal fanbase. Hailing from Omaha, Nebraska, their signature sound is a vibrant cocktail of rock, rap, reggae, funk, and alternative metal, a fusion that predates and arguably influenced the rise of numerous genre-bending acts. Emerging in the early '90s, 311's independent hustle and energetic live shows built a grassroots following. The band’s breakthrough came with their self-titled album in 1995, propelled by the anthemic singles "Down" and "All Mixed Up," which showcased their distinctive blend and established them as a mainstream force. 311's enduring appeal lies in their commitment to positive vibes, introspective lyrics, and tight musical interplay between vocalists Nick Hexum and S.A. Martinez, guitarist Tim Mahoney, bassist P-Nut, and drummer Chad Sexton. They've consistently explored themes of unity and personal growth, setting them apart from the angst-ridden alternative landscape. Notable collaborations include work with Bob Rock and Matt Wallace. Beyond their studio albums, 311's annual 311 Day concerts have become legendary gatherings for their devoted followers. Currently, the band continues to tour extensively, remaining a vital and innovative presence in the music scene, a testament to their ability to evolve while staying true to their unique sound.
