Nick Hexum wrote "8:16 A.M." alone, words and music, for Grassroots, the second 311 album, which Capricorn released on July 12, 1994. The record had a rough birth. The band started the sessions with Eddy Offord but split with him early, then the money dried up, so they finished it themselves in the small Van Nuys house they all shared.
That's where the album's sound comes from: murky on purpose, homemade and proud of it. Grassroots went gold in 1999, and it also carries "Applied Science", which grew into a staple of their live show.
