Info for Voyager
"Voyager" is 311's 13th studio album and features (appropriately enough) 13 new songs — four of which were recorded with Grammy-nominated producer John Feldmann (BLINK-182, PANIC! AT THE DISCO) and nine of which were recorded with longtime collaborator/live engineer Scotch Ralston, who produced 311 albums "Transistor", "Soundsystem" and "Stereolithic".
The new album was mixed by Grammy winner Neal Avron (WEEZER, TWENTY ONE PILOTS, LINKIN PARK) and 311 drummer Chad Sexton, who's done mix work on several previous 311 releases.
"Voyager" is the second consecutive 311 album to feature production work by both Feldmann and Ralston following 2017's "Mosaic", which entered the Billboard 200 at No. 6, making it the band's 10th straight Top 10 album.
About naming the album "Voyager", 311 vocalist/guitarist Nick Hexum says: "Our albums have become almost like a captain's log documenting our band's ongoing voyage through musical styles, while also capturing our feelings and life experiences. With each album, 311 continues to voyage, explore and push our musicality into new dimensions."
Hexum on "Good Feeling": "The songtitle says it all — being about the best stuff in life; celebrating joy with loved ones. This song is an antidote to all the fear, anger, and division so prevalent in society today. Musically, the song is equally influenced by the pounding rhythms that SA [Doug Martinez] and I discovered when exploring the dancehall street scenes in Jamaica, as well as Paul Simon's world beat records like 'Graceland' and 'Rhythm Of The Saints'. This song is a three-minute party jam meant to feel like a vacation."
Hexum on "Don't You Worry": "We all go through highs and lows. And lows can often lead to confusion, despair and loneliness. 'Don't You Worry' is about how a friend should react when we sense someone is going through a hard time: 'Don't You Worry, you can count on me to help you through your dark hours.' It's a song validating personal connection and leaning on one another to turn things for the better."
311 has also revealed "Voyager"'s cover art, which was created by U.K. artist Sam Williams of MagicTorch.
As with every 311 album, "Voyager" features 311's unique hybrid sound of rock, reggae, pop, hip-hop and funk that the band have come to blend so seamlessly.
"I think this album is very eclectic, from simple songs to wild studio adventures that get into weird, stoney outer-space material," says Hexum. "It's another step forward for us and we love the adventure, love the journey, love the process and we can't wait for people to hear it."
Along with a setlist packed with classic hits and fan favorites, 311 will be playing select tracks from the new album on its upcoming summer tour 2019, a 34-date amphitheater tour that will feature DIRTY HEADS and special guests THE INTERRUPTERS, DREAMERS and BIKINI TRILL. All shows are now on sale.
311's feature film "Enlarged To Show Detail 3" was in 240 cinemas nationwide for a one-night showing on 311 Day (March 11). Over 16,000 fans turned out to watch the film, which was largely focused on the band and fan relationship with live show footage and behind the scenes content. The special Los Angeles screening with the band took place at the Egyptian Theater on Hollywood Blvd.
311
311
was formed in 1990 in Omaha, Nebraska by vocalist/guitarist Nick Hexum, vocalist/dj SA Martinez, lead guitarist Tim Mahoney, drummer Chad Sexton and bassist P-Nut. The band now resides in Los Angeles. 311 has sold over 8.5 million units in the U.S. 311 has had 8 albums reach the Top 10 on Billboard’s U.S. Top 200 Sales Chart. 311 has had 9 singles reach the Top 10 on Billboard’s U.S. Alternative Chart (including the #1 singles “Down”, “Love Song” & “Don’t Tread On Me” along with “Amber”, “All Mixed Up”, “Come Original”, “Creatures (For a While)”, “Hey You” and “Sunset in July”). 311’s most recent album, Universal Pulse, debuted at #7 in July 2011 and was produced by Bob Rock (Metallica, Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Aerosmith). 311’s sound is a unique hybrid of rock, reggae, hip-hop & funk. A balance of hard rocking anthems and melodic reggae grooves – with an underlying message of unity & positivity. After years of incessant touring, 311 has developed a reputation as one of the most influential & most entertaining live bands in the U.S. With their celebratory live shows, 311 has earned a massive grassroots following. For the past nine years, 311 has headlined their summer “Unity Tour” in ampitheatres across the U.S.- drawing crowds of 10,000 to 18,000 people in Atlanta, Boston, DC, New Jersey, Los Angeles, St. Louis, West Palm, Charlotte, VA Beach, Denver, etc. The tour is consistently one of the largest modern rock concerts of the summer in the U.S. Past 311 tours have included an impressive array of opening acts. Bands such as No Doubt, Korn & Incubus all supported 311 on U.S. tours before they became headliners.Support acts on 311’s Unity Tour have included: Sublime With Rome, The Offspring, Snoop Dogg, Slightly Stoopid, The Roots, Papa Roach, The Wailers, O.A.R., Matisyahu and Ziggy Marley. 311 has always stayed true to their own approach and their underlying message of unity and positivity. That message still rings true for them today…in their lyrics and at their celebratory live shows. Singer Nick Hexum typically ends each show with the words, “Stay Positive and Love Your Life.” Every other year on March 11th (“3-11 Day”), 311 holds a special concert event that attracts thousands of 311 fans from around the world. The show includes an extended setlist (5 hours / 60+ songs) and state of the art production. Last time (March 2012), the band sold-out the Mandalay Bay Arena and tickets were sold to fans in all 50 U.S. states and 13 different countries. 311 fans traveled from around the globe to meet each other and to celebrate 311 Day together.
“I love the speakers! They work great and have a nice sound for such a compact package!” – Nick Hexum, Vocalist/Guitarist of 311
