Grassroots is the second studio album by American rock band 311, released on July 12, 1994, through Capricorn Records. The album was intentionally recorded to have a "muddy" tone, and was recorded in a small house in Van Nuys where all of the band members lived together. This album also contains the track "Applied Science", which is a staple in 311's live show and has included a full-band drum solo since 2000. P-Nut records with a five-string Warwick bass for the first time here as well. The album was certified gold in 1999 by the RIAA, having sold over 500,000 copies.[4] With their second album, 311 started recording with Eddy Offord, but parted ways very early in the process. Funds for the album were cut off, but the band persevered by doing it themselves. 311 finished recording the album in their band house, leading to the unique sound of this record.[5]
A special vinyl edition of the record was pressed for Black Friday in 2011 at United Record Pressing in Nashville, TN.[6]
