An American hip-hop/punk/reggae hybrid that have retained a strong following since the early 1990s.
311 was formed in 1990 in Omaha, Nebraska by five self-described "friends for life," whose common link was a passion for both music and life that eventually brought them together to make music with a positive message behind it. After gigging locally (and by all reports quickly conquering the local music scene there), the quintet moved to Los Angeles, where they signed with Capricorn in 1991 and began releasing albums, including 1992's Music, 1993's Grassroots, and 1995's 311 (aka the "Blue" album), the latter reaching number 12 on the album chart, selling three million copies worldwide, and sporting the tracks "All Mixed Up" and "Down." ~ Cub Koda
