// About:

Sublime. Ska, Punk, Hip Hop, Rock, Reggae and Blues at it's best. To call Sublime any one genre would be to limit them, and really do them an injustice. They play it all. The musics' there. The vocals' there. The production is ill. This band is just too sick and millions of other music listeners would agree according to sales before, and since, the band's untimely dissolution.

The spirit of the music was clear to each and every fan, whether they took the message to be that of personal enlightenment, social revolution, welfare state reality or just rocked to the brilliant tunes and solid beats -- Sublime was, and continues to be, so much to so many.

The music, vocals, and the vibe combine for pumpin', pimpin', groovin', "kick back and pass the cheeba" tunes, that make ya feel okay. This band has talent, and they prove it.

It all came together in the late 80's when Bradley, Bud and Eric joined up to lay down soulful reggae beats and mind-blowing verbal wizardry. For years they played together, going through the ups and downs that any group of friends will. From the infamous Deny's tour story to the defacement of Willy Nelson's studio poster -- Sublime was always just looking to have a good time.

It is unfortunate that such a revolutionary group should come to such an abrupt end in tragedy. It was May 25th, 1996, when Bradley James Nowell succumbed to the addiction he had battled for some time.

While Bradley passed away during the recording of the Sublime self-titled album, that would become the album to propel Sublime to a international listenership, the music went on to inspire millions and helped to re-introduce, and introduce, many to Long Beach reggae, punk, surf and hip-hop soul.
