About 311
For more than 30 years, 311 has stood as a beacon of innovation in the modern rock scene, maintaining their original lineup while continuously evolving their sound. Originating from Omaha, Nebraska, the band—comprised of Nick Hexum (vocals, guitar), SA Martinez (vocals, turntables), Chad Sexton (drums), P-Nut (bass), and Tim Mahoney (lead guitar)—has become a fixture in the global music landscape, known for their dynamic fusion of rock, reggae, funk, and rap. With a career spanning over three decades, 311’s music remains as vital and fresh as ever, reflecting their unwavering  dedication to their craft and their fans. 311 has sold over 10 million albums, achieved over 1.5 billion streams globally, and landed 10 consecutive Top 10 charting albums. Across their 13 albums, they have earned 5X Platinum and 6X Gold certifications. They are the creators of “311 Day,” a multi-day immersive concert experience that takes place bi-annually on March 11th. Additionally, they host the 311 Cruise, which has sold out within 24 hours of going on sale for seven consecutive cruises. Their latest single, "You're Gonna Get It," is the band’s highest-charting radio single in 13 years, currently sitting at #15 on US alternative radio.

As 311 enters their fourth decade as a band, they show no signs of slowing down. With a new album on the horizon and an ambitious touring schedule that will take them to new and familiar territories, the band continues to push forward with the same passion and drive that has defined their career.

And as they continue to tour the world and release new music, 311 remains a powerful and inspiring force in the global music scene.

About Badflower
Beauty blooms from discomfort. The second we squirm at the utterance of a lyric or the echo of a guitar chord is the moment we learn about our limits and, perhaps, make a change in our lives. Badflower aren’t afraid of making anybody uncomfortable. The GOLD-certified Los Angeles-bred and Nashville-based quartet—Josh Katz [lead singer, guitarist], Joey Morrow [lead guitar, backing vocals], Alex Espiritu [bass], and Anthony Sonetti [drums]—siphon stress, sleeplessness, sex, sadness, mania, pain, and truth into revelatory alternative anthems. Katz’s quivering confessions seep into climactic distortion and, like any good rush, you need more. They deliver this rush on their 2021 second full-length offering, This Is How The World Ends (Big Machine/John Varvatos Records).

Badflower continue to commit body, blood, mind, and soul to their art. They’ve certainly grinded to get to this point. After forming in Los Angeles during 2014, they dropped two EPs before sending shockwaves throughout rock with their 2019 full-length debut, OK, I’M SICK. LoudWire hailed it among the “50 Best Rock Albums of 2019,” while the singles “The Jester,” “Heroin,” and “Ghost” vaulted to No. 1 at Rock Radio. Not to mention, the latter picked up a GOLD-certification from the RIAA and win as iHeartRadio Music Awards Rock Song of the Year. Along the way, they garnered further acclaim from Nylon, Alternative Press, Music Connection, and Substream Magazine and performed on The Late Late Show with James Corden as well as Last Call with Carson Daly. They’re the rare act who can ignite a crowd at Kaboo Del Mar or Sonic Temple in addition to sharing bills with the likes of Cage the Elephant, Ghost, Nothing More, Shinedown, Soundgarden, and many more. Thus far, they’ve also gathered over 100 million streams and counting. Meanwhile, one-off singles “30” and “F*ck The World” reached Top 5 and Top 10 at Rock Radio, respectively.
