The Omaha, Nebraska punk reggaers known as 311 are getting ready to release a new studio album, "Soundsystem," on October 12, and the band has just announced dates for a fall tour that kicks off in Nashville, Tennessee in late September.

311 has already released the riddim-heavy "Come Original" as the first single off of "Soundsystem," and recently shot a video for the track with veteran director Kevin Kerslake.

As we previously reported (see [article id="1431039"]"311 Heads Into Studio With Hugh Padgham, Remixes Lenny Kravitz"[/article]), 311 cut the new album with producer Hugh Padgham -- who's also handled Sting, XTC, and David Bowie, among others -- during sessions at Hive Studios in Burbank, California.
