United States (1989 – present)
311 (pronounced “three eleven”) is a band from Omaha, Nebraska. Their musical structure incorporates a variety of musical styles including hip hop, alternative rock, punk, reggae, metal, and funk. Since their self-titled album in 1995, all but one of their albums (the exception being Live) have been in the top 15 of the Billboard 200. Nineteen of their singles have received significant radio airplay since 
Do You Right in 1993; five of those songs being top 3 hits on Billboard’s Modern Rock Tracks chart.
Early 311 (1989–1994)
In 1990 and 1991, 311 released three records on their own independent record label, What Have You Records. These records, titled Dammit, Hydroponic, and Unity, and alongside their energetic live shows, launched their career in the Midwest, after which they moved out to California in an attempt to be signed onto a major record label.
Their first major CD, Music was released in 1993. The singleDo You Right received airplay on modern rock stations and reached #27 on Billboard’s Modern Rock Tracks chart. But the album failed to chart at the time. The following year, they released their second album, Grassroots. Although none of the singles charted, the album reached #8 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart and #193 on the Billboard 200.
Mainstream breakthrough (1995–2000)
In 1995, 311 released what was to be their biggest selling CD, the self-titled 311 (also known as The Blue Album).

311 rules because they're really hard to pigeon hole into 1 specific category. I love hearing kids who know nothing about music try and describe them.
