GREATEST HITS CD OUT JUNE 8th!!
SUMMER TOUR JUNE 18 - AUGUST 1.
TIX ON SALE NOW!!

311 GREATEST HITS '93-'03:
On June 8, 311 will release a "Greatest Hits" CD with songs from 1993 - 2003 plus TWO BRAND NEW SONGS!! The Greatest Hits album includes fourteen 311 classics plus the current #1 hit "Love Song" and two previously unreleased new tracks, "How Do You Feel" and "First Straw". "How Do You Feel" is a high energy rap-rocker with a soaring chorus and "First Straw" is melodic/funky summertime reggae at its finest. Both of the new songs were produced by David Kahne (Sublime, Fishbone, Paul McCartney, etc). The album also includes a brand new mix of the song "Homebrew", mixed by Chad Sexton at the Hive. Chad has always wanted to remix "Homebrew" and the Greatest Hits album provided the perfect opportunity. The results are rockin! In addition, all the songs on the album were remastered by Joe Gastwirt at Joe's Mastering Joint. The songs sound better than ever! This is truly a classic 311 collection that defines 11 years of 311. Here's to 11 more!!!

Words from P-Nut:
Wow, eleven years of recording, pretty amazing, this collection is like a scrapbook of songs that we've created. I know that I had fun listening to it driving around Los Angeles. The development of the band has been great to witness from the inside, but it's nice to hear the music together in a tight package. Thanks to all the fans who allowed us to exist and grow, our longevity has been our greatest acheivement. Look for us to continue to create musick that moves the mind, soul and spirit. And this summer tour is going to be nothing short of amazing, because of the talent that is coming with us, and our need to get back in front of you. Musick is my religion. - p-nut
