311’s Nick Hexum joined Loudwire Nights on Friday (Sept. 27) to look back on nearly 30 years of the band’s self-titled album as well as celebrate their next full-length record, Full Bloom, out on Oct. 25.

“It’s been a little bit since we’ve had new music to celebrate,” Hexum told host Chuck Armstrong specifically about Full Bloom’s lead singe — and 311’s first new song in five years — “You’re Gonna Get It.”

“I feel like we’re in a new zone…we’re excited about the new album that we made.”

Hexum said the band’s morale is high as they get ready for the release of Full Bloom.

“When we do that build and the drop on ‘You’re Gonna Get It,’ it’s like, okay, this is 311 at its peak.”

Looking Back on 311’s Self-titled Album

Along with preparing for Full Bloom, Hexum shared a detailed recollection of the making and release of 311’s iconic 1995 self-titled album.

“We did record it 30 years ago, it was ’94,” Hexum said. “During Grassroots, our second album, we didn’t have a home. We put our meager possessions in storage and we just lived on the road and we’re just going to tour until we go gold.”

Though Grassroots didn’t get certified gold by the time they were ready to record, Hexum admitted they couldn’t wait.

“We could really feel the momentum was picking up,” he recalled.

“We decided we wanted to make a very high-energy, live-sounding album. We recorded the basic tracks all at once and kept the songs kind of short and to the point because, you know, the feedback we were getting was that our albums didn’t measure up to our live performance.”

“There was just a magic energy.”
