Their first album after they left Capricorn. Seems current now.

They're from my hometown

>>74789235
honestly, was pleasantly surprised when I checked out their discography in college after only knowing All Mixed up and Down.

Music and grassroots are solid albums

Does your hometown recognize or celebrate them in anyway?

The Allman Brothers Band is from my hometown and they have their place in our history. A few roads named after them. Several bars, restaurants, and businesses have memorabilia on display.

Good to hear anon. They are such a fun band. I understand the criticism of their later albums. Not for everyone, but successful bands need to evolve sometimes. As I have gotten older, I really do like their later stuff. But I will always love their first few albums.

They partnered with a local brewery to make 311 amber ale. I think they put on a concert every year or so, but no, to my knowledge they don't honor 311 or anything.

BTW, they have always had some great art associate with them

I think it's obvious they realized some things about the industry a long the way as well.

I never realized that was from a local brewery, but I'm not a big drinker either. I've always wondered what their shows are like at home. I know how much energy they bring to nearly every show I've seen them play.

I saw their 10 year anniversary show, they played two entire albums cover to cover, them played another 6 or 7 songs iirc.

For a few years there, on their 311 day (March 11) shows, they would play for like 4 hours straight I think. Now they do 2 or 3 days in a row. They are getting older though.

>who else would ever name their band after tha transistor, arguably one of the greatest inventions of man.

fuck keep forgetting pic sorry mods.

I respect them so much, they really try to break the mold. They have to be one of the most successful "cult" bands out there.

I can see it now have to show you how
The funny thing is that we couldn't have it any other way
Still it kills me when we say
All we've been through
All the songs that I've sung for you
We both know I'm gonna lose you

I hate to be alone
There comes a time to reap what you've sewn
All we've been through
All the songs that I've sung for you
We both know I'm gonna lose you

Let's think of all the good times
Instead of wish we could times
So much better that way
This is what I ask for
This is what I deserve
Be careful what you ask for

I listened to some of their earlier stuff back in high school and I enjoyed most of it. Been a while since I listened to them very much though. Good music for summer time IMO.

311's newest and 12th studio album, Mosaic, features a mosaic of fan submitted images of themselves celebrating 311. Pretty badass if you're a fan. New album is pretty good too if you are a fan. 17 new songs from a band that was formed in 1988.

My thoughts exactly, great summer stuff, especially their stuff since 2003's Evolver when they began to back off the rap/rock some and shifted to more rock/reggae/summer music. I love all the trajectory their style has taken.

I didn't like, or understand, 2005's "Don't Tread On Me" when it first came out but it really is such a great album. It's one of the more laid back albums they released.

my favorite band growing up
my first concert was 311 and incubus during the soundsystem/make yourself tour

>>74789235
I have a lot of respect for them. They're the band that helped get me interested in listening to music. They're lowkey a colossal meme, but that's part of why I love them. They're a fun band

they're actually dope despite the meme

Grassroots and Transistor are some of my favorite albums ever.
