"Homebrew" comes off Grassroots, the second album from 311, which Capricorn Records put out on July 12, 1994, and it's a title that suits the way the record got made. The band started out with producer Eddy Offord, parted with him early on, saw their funding cut off and finished the job themselves in the small Van Nuys house where they all lived, chasing a deliberately muddy sound.
Nick Hexum and S.A. Martinez wrote the words and share the vocals, Hexum and Tim Mahoney play guitar, P-Nut is on bass (this album was his first on a five-string Warwick), and Chad Sexton plays drums and shares the mix credit with Joe Gastwirt. Offord and 311 split the production credit, and the album went gold in 1999.
