Music Minute - 311: Blue Album Reissue and Unity Tour

 

Grammy-nominated, platinum-certified rock innovators 311 are celebrating three decades of their iconic self-titled release—known affectionately by fans as the Blue Album—with a special 30th anniversary reissue, out today at 311.com


This definitive 21-track edition includes seven never-before-on-vinyl bonus tracks, compiling every song recorded during the original Blue Album sessions for the first time in one place. A pivotal release in the alt-rock canon, the Blue Album introduced a genre-defying fusion of rock, reggae, and funk that still resonates across generations.


The band shares, “Thirty years ago, our Self-Titled “Blue Album” came out and changed our lives. Today marks 30 years to the day since its release and we are so thrilled to be able to celebrate the anniversary with this special reissue. We cannot begin to express the love and appreciation we have for our incredible fanbase who have kept these songs alive with us for the last three decades.” 


Nick Hexum will be answering questions on Reddit’s /music subreddit today, July 11 at 12pm CT / 1 pm ET Ask him anything! 


The band has also released 4K versions of the music videos for “All Mixed Up” and “Down” along with new lyric videos available now on 311’s YouTube.  



The release arrives in the midst of 311’s electrifying Unity Tour, which is currently blazing across the U.S. in support of their latest full-length album, Full Bloom. The record’s title track has recently climbed into the Top 20 on the Alternative charts, underscoring the band’s enduring influence and creative evolution.



Fans can expect a dynamic mix of nostalgic anthems and fresh new cuts when 311 hits the stage this summer. Those who attend a show on the Unity Tour will have the chance to get their hands on a new tour exclusive vinyl variant in iceberg blue, while fans at home can stay tuned on socials for more release day surprises. 



Tickets for the Unity Tour are available now at unity-tour.com.
