Universal Pulse is the tenth studio album by American rock band 311, to be released July 19, 2011[1] on 311 Records/ATO Records.
Album information
Like its predecessor, Uplifter, this album was produced by Bob Rock, who has produced or engineered albums by numerous notable acts, such as Metallica, Aerosmith, Mötley Crüe, Bon Jovi, The Cult, Our Lady Peace and The Offspring. Unlike previous albums where their record label requested that the drums be recorded at an alternate location, all tracks, including the drums, were recorded at the Hive Studio. Vocalist/guitarist Nick Hexum has revealed that the album would have a more "focused" approach, with a heavier sound featuring distorted guitars on every song. To support the album, 311 confirmed that Sublime with Rome would be joining along for the 2011 Unity Tour, with special guests DJ Soulman and DJ Trichrome. Taken from twitter posts from bassist P-Nut, it is said that this would be the shortest album yet, only having 8 songs and no b-sides.[2]
The album's first single "Sunset in July" was released on June 3, 2011.[3]
