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 emphasize the importance of community through the lens of communication and connection.
Full Bloom is the group’s 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 realization that all actions have consequences, even if they aren’t immediate, has over 1M streams since its release this summer.
“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 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.
