“Those boxes have been sealed for probably 10 years, so it was really ancient stuff.

Our manager was saying ‘Okay, I need old photos and stuff’ and I was like, ‘Well you can go through my keepsakes boxes.’ Nick Hexum’s collection alone seems quite taxing to go through.Īs Nick tells us, his keepsake showed up to be quite extensive: “Well I had 2 boxes of keepsakes, where I would just toss everything in from press clippings to laminates to lyric sheets to photos and these are really heavy boxes by the way. With 5 members over 20 years, I’m surprised they were able to condense it down to just 60 pages. What seems like another book of pictures actually entails so much more. Going through more than 20 years of music and memorabilia took the group a year and a half to put together.

In addition to the music, the Archive package also includes a 60page book full of rare photos, flyers, memorabilia, and artifacts from the bands personal collection spanning 1992 – 2014. It was a big job, but we definitely needed to do it for posterity.” He was very involved in the re-mastering.

This is good timing because they’re currently in pre-production on a new album, but we’ll get to that later… 311’s ARCHIVE…Īrchive spans a collection of music housing 81 total tracks from over the last 25 years. As Nick told me over the phone, “this was pretty much all of it!” This is all of what 311 has and as a 311 fan, you are caught up to date with all of their music. Rather than putting out another Greatest Hits album, 311 decided to empty out the archive in a release depleting the vault of their material and they aptly titled this special release, Archive.Īrchive is a box-set of 81 tracks including unreleased songs, B-sides, bonus tracks, pre-production recordings and demos. That was 11 studio records, multiple live albums, DVDs, and a Greatest Hits release ago. June 10th, 1990 was the first show 311 ever put on. We caught up with Nick in a call lasting 30minutes discussing the release of Archive in celebration of the groups 25 years as a band.

We had a 25 Year Anniversary to commemorate!” says vocalist Nick Hexum of 311.

Lower case names are sometimes at the end (don't blame me if you picked a lowercase name for your band). So 'Bob Dylan' is under 'B' and 'Captain Beefheart' is under 'C' and '10,000 Maniacs' comes before 'A'.
