ALT/INDIE STORIES

311 have one of the best following’s in music and their shows have become something more than just a band playing the hits for whoever shows up.  Singer Nick Hexum says he’s well aware of the community and draw his band has become and it’s served as inspiration for several new tracks on their “Universal Pulse” album.  The vocalist says, “You know there is a lot of sort of nostalgic kind of look at like, ‘Man, look at what we’re a part of.’  Because…311, we’re kind of a movement and the way our fans feel about it is it’s not just a bunch of people watching a band or whatever.  It’s kind of a state of mind.”  Their current single, “Sunset In July,” is all about what it’s like for the band to be playing for their audience during the summer, as has become custom with their “Unity” tour.
