These songs could stand up on its own as a single disc release, containing plenty of material that the casual 311 fan could get into. Fans that have dug deep in cyber space will be happy to finally hear good recordings of “Juan Bond,” “Next” and the effect-laden instrumental jams “Old Funk” and “Space Funk.” Other highlights are “Writer’s Block Party” and “Earth People” from the Transistor sessions and “Stealing My Girl” and “Week of Saturdays” from the sessions for Don’t Tread On Me and Uplifter, respectively. The second disc is where they start getting into the unreleased tracks, made up of outtakes from their last several albums, several of which have had low quality mp3 files floating around the internet for years. The rest of the first disc contains the bonus EPs that came with the band first two DVD releases ( Enlarged to Show Detail 1 & 2 ), as well as “Deluxe Edition” and Japanese bonus tracks from their last few albums and “Outside” from the Senior Trip soundtrack. The set opens with “Transistor Intro,” which is actually a song the band has used as concert intro music since well before the release of the Transistor album in 1997 - the name comes from its use as an intro to the CD version of that album, which could only be heard by rewinding track one on most players.

During the twenty-year professional career the rockers did not lose an interest to the music, so their desire to create something new is realized through melodies and notes. The release of 311’s freshest studio attempt titled Universal Pulse took place in 2011. Traditional cobwebs of various genres and styles, very thick and juicy guitar sound, ideal distribution of neat sound effects – these are some of the reasons why 311 are so much loved by music lovers all around the globe. It may be a surprise, but one can hardly find a sort of an average work of 311, because all of them had been created with true love. Soundsystem (1999) pleased the band’s fans with new hits, including the famous Come Original, Flowing and other songs, which took a notable place in 311’s discography. This musical diversity was among other reasons, which led the band to success. These genres are quite different from each other, and some of these directions are really exotic, thereby they are so interesting to listeners. The rockers somehow managed to combine various directions in their art, from funk-rock and funk-metal to reggae and even jazz-fusion. The studio work titled Transistor (1997) proved to be not less interesting then its predecessors and got the Platinum status – the connoisseurs of music really enjoyed the easy recognizable unique 311 style. By the way, it was 311 that presented such well-known and tried-and-true hits as All Mixed Up and Don't Stay Home. A year later 311 issued the second studio attempt Grassroots (1994), while their self-titled album 311 was released in 1995. Who knows if the rockers really had such plans, however they conquered the world indeed. Then the task was to conquer the rest of the USA and the whole world. It is worth mentioning that 311 had already had the fans in West Coast – numerous shows definitely played their role. The musicians managed to attract attention to their creativity in practically no time. Thereby, together with Chad Sexton, Nick Hexum and Aaron Wills they formed 311 in the shape that became popular to music lovers all around the world.ģ11’s debut record saw the light in 1993 and it got quite the logical name Music. Later the group was joined by a DJ and a vocalist Douglas Martinez. By 1991 the guitarist Jim Watson left the band, but soon his place was taken by Tim Mahoney. Shows at local bars and small clubs turned out to be a good thing anyway, as soon as it brought such a priceless experience. The success did not come during the very first stages, but it could not stop the artists. Once, the young men decided to try their luck in the music field. Its members have been friends since the school and they were united by their love to music.

The famous American rock band 311 was formed in late eighties in Nebraska.
