The Grammy nominated, platinum certified rock band 311 have released their long awaited 14th studio album, Full Bloom, out now.
Full Bloom delivers a powerful message of positivity and unity in a time when listeners need it most, urging fans to unite and embrace their full potential so everyone can thrive together in full bloom.
We’re thrilled to finally share our new album, Full Bloom, with the world. This release marks an exciting new chapter for us. We’re excited for longtime fans and new listeners alike to experience the journey with 311. Whether you’ve been with us from the start or are just tuning in now, we hope Full Bloom resonates deeply and reminds you why music connects us all.
With more than 10 million records sold in just the United States alone, the group has never been hotter. As veterans of over 2,000 shows across 27 countries, 311 is one of the longest running original lineups in rock, alongside iconic acts like U2 and Radiohead.
Their first single off the album, You’re Gonna Get It is the band’s highest charting song in 13 years, breaking into the top 15 at Alternative Radio. The introspective track reflecting upon the realization that all actions have consequences, even if they aren’t immediate, has over 1M streams since its release.
311 recently released their new track and visualizer for Need Somebody, which speaks to avoiding isolation and staying connected with the people that love you.
The band has entered a renaissance and continues to bloom fully. This year alone, the band sold out the biannual 311 cruise in under 24 hours that will set sail in March 2025. The 30th anniversary reissue of their 1994 album Grassroots saw a 40,000% surge in sales, re-entering Billboard’s list of best selling albums at #34 with the vinyl charting at #11. The group also toured Japan for the first time in 10 years, along with a massive tour of Europe that included top selling festivals and headline shows in the UK and Europe. This was their first time back in the region in 20 years, and will be returning to Australia for the Good Things festival and Jakarta for Everblast Festival.

Like many, my love for symphonic metal can be traced back to the debut of Nightwish. Before that, however, Angra, Blind Guardian and After Forever had captivated my ears with their blending of orchestras, heavy melodies, and starting a dangerous hobby of peak soundstage in headphones.

Just over four years ago I ‘met’ Joey Talmage (Hoody Time) - the American rapper/hip-hop artist via reddit's r/newzealand sub ahead of his tour, and subsequent emigration to New Zealand. I managed to catch up with Hoody, and new found collaborators Bo Ade-Simpson (Bosho) and Max Duncan prior to the literal New Year release of MUSIC.
Back in August, ahead of the release of Empire of the Blind - Mark Derricutt sat down with David White to discuss all things Heathen.

Long before the days of lockdowns, bubbles, and social distancing - California based Suicide Silence released their 5th album Become The Hunter on Valentine's Day. Since then the whole world has been turned upside down, and somewhere among them this interview with guitarist Mark Heylmun somehow got lost in the shuffle.
