311 are set to release their new album, Universal Pulse, on July 19 via their own 311 Records (distributed by ATO Records). The record only has eight songs, and singer Nick Hexum tells Billboard, "There was just a general 'Let's put quality over quantity' this time. It's kind of an experiment. We feel that people will want to hear it again, and I find that as pop culture goes further people's attention spans get shorter. So we'd rather do more frequent albums rather than 'Uplifter,' which took four years. Yes, that's a longer album, but I think of our fans had to choose they would want to hear what we are doing more often rather than wait for a longer album." 311 will be on tour all summer alongside Sublime With Rome for the Unity Tour 2011, along with their own Pow Wow Festival in early August in Live Oak, FL.
