“Hey You” by 311

311's "Hey You" hit radio on April 7, 2009 and went on sale through Volcano three days later, the first single from Uplifter, the Omaha band's ninth album. Nick Hexum and S.A. Martinez wrote it and share the vocals, Hexum and Tim Mahoney handle the guitars, P-Nut plays bass and Chad Sexton drums.

The new wrinkle is Bob Rock, a go-to name for rock and metal records, as Spin put it, who produced it and mixed it with Eric Helmkamp. Spin's review liked the combination: Rock beefs up the loudest stretches while the band's easygoing Caribbean lilt stays warm and mellow. It gave them an eighth top-five hit on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart, and Joe Lynch's video premiered on Yahoo Music on May 7.
