Sublime is an American ska punk band from Long Beach, California, United States. A more detailed look at the band’s stylistic influences reveals a mix of reggae and dub, ska, punk, progressive rock, acoustic rock and hip-hop. The band consisted of three members: Bradley Nowell (vocals and guitar), Bud Gaugh (drums), and Eric Wilson (bass guitar). The band achieved mainstream success with their self-titled third album, but Brad died of a heroin overdose shortly before and the band broke up soon after. The band is still considered influential today, and their music sees heavy airplay on American Alternative radio stations.
From 1988 through the mid 1990s, Sublime toured heavily throughout southern California and garnered a substantial following of surfers and skaters. The band sold their initial recordings at live shows—eventually including their first full-length album 40 Oz. to Freedom. Released on the band’s own Skunk Records, 40 Oz. to Freedom featured several songs that would go on to become fan favorites, including the title track “40 Oz. to Freedom” and “Date Rape”, as well as a selection of covers, including their version of “Smoke Two Joints”, indicating Sublime’s varied influences—The Grateful Dead, KRS-One, The Descendents, Bad Religion, Toots and The Maytals, and Bob Marley. Their second album, Robbin’ the Hood, was recorded in 1994. It consisted of a few fully developed songs along with instrumentals, tape dubs and various rantings of the manic Raleigh Theodore Sakers.

"Sublime is Bradley and to continue without him under the name is wrong." Yes I'm sure that Bud and Eric have nothing to do with not only the band but their sound.

It does seem wrong, but I'll give him a chance. I just really hope he doesn't fuck up their legacy by making a crappy album. I mean, he does have a HUGE legacy to live up to and it'd be really impressive if they did make an amazing album.

I don't have a problem with Sublime touring with Rome, from what I've seen I think they sound really awesome... but a Sublime album without Bradley seems kinda wrong.

saw them perform today with rome, the new singer. was their first show as "sublime" since brad's death. i wasn't really sure what to expect or even think about it at first. i mean, how can it be sublime without bradley? just didn't seem right. but i must say, after seeing them i am pleasantly surprised. the show was great, and rome sounds EXACTLY like brad
