The platinum certified rock band 311 are back with their highly anticipated 14th studio album, Full Bloom, out this Friday, October 25. Pre-save Full Bloom here.
Need Somebody is the latest single from Full Bloom. The track speaks to avoiding isolation and staying connected with the people that love you.
With more than 10 million records sold in just the United States alone, the group has never been hotter. Having just wrapped a successful headlining US run of their ‘Unity Tour,’ one of the most successful tours of the band’s 34 year history, the group is known to emphasise the importance of community through the lens of communication and connection.
Full Bloom is the groups first full length project in 5 years following their album Voyager in 2019. Their first single off the album, You’re Gonna Get It is the band’s highest charting song in 13 years, breaking into the top 15 at Alternative Radio. The introspective track reflecting upon the realisation that all actions have consequences, even if they aren’t immediate, has over 1.3M streams.
“We hope fans can take from this album 311’s message of positivity and unity. In today’s world it’s so easy to become alienated by the pressures of everyday life. Whether it’s social media, stress at work, an illness, the list goes on.” The band shares with us, “It’s so important to stay open with your loved ones and community so we can all thrive in full bloom” shares the band.
The band has entered a renaissance and continues to bloom fully. This year alone, the band sold out the biannual 311 cruise in under 24 hours that will set sail in March 2025. The 30th anniversary reissue of their 1994 album Grassroots saw a 40,000% surge in sales, reentering Billboard’s list of best selling albums at #34 with the vinyl charting at #11. The group also toured Japan for the first time in 10 years, along with a massive tour of Europe that included top selling festivals and headline shows in the UK and Europe. This was their first time back in the region in 20 years, and will be returning to Australia for the Good Things festival and Jakarta for Everblast Festival. For more info, please visit 311.com
Music has always been a unifying force, and through their lyrics and melodies, the band seeks to remind everyone that we are never truly alone. Whether it’s reaching out to a friend, a family member, or even a stranger, the act of communication can bridge gaps and heal wounds.
In their eyes, having someone to talk to is one of the most essential forms of support, and it’s the foundation upon which unity is built. It’s in those conversations where understanding, empathy, and connection grow.
311 was formed in 1990 in Omaha, Nebraska, featuring Nick Hexum (vocals/guitar), Chad Sexton (drums), Tim Mahoney (guitar), SA Martinez (vocals/dj), and P-Nut (bass).
311 mixes rock, rap, reggae & funk into their own unique, hybrid sound – and 33 years later, the band is still regarded as one of the most entertaining & dynamic live bands in the U.S.
As veterans of over 2,000 shows across 27 countries, 311 is one of the longest running original lineups in rock, alongside iconic acts like U2 and Radiohead.
311’s celebrated live shows and touring schedule have earned them a vast and dedicated following nationwide. Their annual, headlining, amphitheater show is a staple of the U.S. Summer touring season. Past support acts include: The Offspring, Snoop Dogg, Sublime with Rome, Cypress Hill, Slightly Stoopid, Dirty Heads, The Roots, Matisyahu, and Ziggy Marley.
311 have released thirteen studio albums, two greatest hits albums, two live albums, three DVD’s and a boxed-set, and have sold over 9 million records in the U.S.
Ten albums have reached the Top 10 on Billboard’s Top 200 Sales Chart – and nine of their singles have reached the Top 10 on Billboard’s Alternative Radio Chart – including three #1 singles: Down, Love Song, and Don’t Tread On Me – along with Amber, All Mixed Up, Come Original, Creatures For Awhile, Hey You, and Sunset in July.
