311's Nick Hexum reunites with Kyle Meredith for a discussion about the 30th anniversary of 311's debut album, Music, as well as the 20th anniversary of Evolver and the band's current work on their next album. The frontman reflects on his admiration for early R.E.M. and The Clash, sharing how his own confidence in the band developed during his high school years. He highlights the melodic contrast that set 311 apart from the more aggressive rock period characterized by bands like Limp Bizkit and Korn. Hexum also praises the lyricism of Ben Folds and acknowledges the significant influence that The Beatles had on 311's 2003 album. He then provides a sneak peek into their upcoming record, noting that it features a heavier sound with a good dose of drop D tuning.
