311 on 36 Years Together, "Amber," AI, Rock Music & Their Top 5 Albums | Lipps Service

For more than 36 years, 311 have remained one of rock's most unique and enduring bands—blending rock, reggae, hip-hop, funk and metal into a sound entirely their own while keeping the original five members together through decades of touring and platinum-selling albums.

On this episode of SPIN Magazine's Lipps Service, Scott Lipps sits down with Nick Hexum, SA Martinez, Chad Sexton, Tim Mahoney and P-Nut to look back at their incredible journey—from growing up in Omaha and moving to Los Angeles together, to recording classics like "Amber," "Love Song," and the breakthrough Blue Album.

The band discusses the current state of rock music, artificial intelligence, social media, songwriting, their biggest career moments, the songs they want to be remembered for, their favorite '90s rock albums, and what's next for 311.

If you're a longtime Excitable, a fan of alternative rock, or simply love hearing legendary artists tell their stories, this episode is for you.
