Chris Godley311 are arguably the most successful band ever to emerge from Omaha, Nebraska.
The multi-platinum rockers’ latest release, Stereolithic, the first on their newly established indie 311 Records, debuted this morning at No. 6 on the Billboard Top 200. The album, distributed by INgrooves, follows 2011’s Universal Pulse, which bowed at No. 7. 311 marked the 3/11 release with a mammoth 5-hour, 66-song concert at the New Orleans Arena in front of more than 10,000 fans. The group’s national tour starts May 2 in Memphis at the Beale Street Music Fest, and includes radio shows for DC101 in Washington, DC (May 3) and KJEE in Santa Barbara (May 15). 311’s self-titled 1995 debut went triple platinum, while the catalog has sold more than 10 million worldwide.

“We are very excited to be working with 311 in their first-ever worldwide publishing deal,” said Downtown Music founder/president Justin Kalifowitz. “They are one of the most formative alternative rock bands of the ’90s and their continued influence across multiple genres remains evident today.”
