NEW WEBSITE LAUNCHED!!
Welcome to the new and improved 311.com!!
We are very excited about the new website and encourage you to take a look around and visit the site. Almost all the pages have been updated or revised. I'm sure there are pages that you have not visited in a long time. And I'm sure you'll find some links and treats along the way.

Special thanks to Jantien Mijwaart and Edo Balvers in Amsterdam, Wayne Price and Andy Riell in New York City, and extra special thanks to Daniel Patterson in Buenos Aires (by way of Baton Rouge) for all their help on the redesign of the new website. You guys rock!!

WORDS FROM SA & NICK:
Check out some words from SA & Nick regarding the new album. "Don't Tread On Me: An Inside Look by SA Martinez and Nick Hexum" click here.

ALBUM ART AND TITLE:
Above is a photo of the new album cover, designed by Shepard Fairey. He also designed the artwork for the 311 Live in New Orleans DVD. Click the album cover to see an enlarged version.

Nick Hexum talks about the Album Title:
“To me, the meaning of the album title, "Don't Tread on Me" is simple - it's about freedom. Personal freedom. Freedom from any kind of oppression - political, religious, or social. It's a cool phrase and it really lends itself well to the imagery on the album cover. I think it's the coolest cover artwork we've had, along with the Evolver photo cover and the Live album cover. Those three are my faves. There's a lot to look at on this one."
