about
Sublime is an American reggae punk band from Long Beach, California. Formed in 1988, the original lineup consisted of Bradley Nowell (vocals and guitar), Eric Wilson (bass), and Bud Gaugh (drums). Lou Dog, Nowell’s Dalmatian, served as the band’s mascot. Nowell died of a heroin overdose in 1996, which led to the group’s initial breakup. In 1997, several of the band’s songs, including "What I Got", "Santeria", "Wrong Way", "Doin’ Time", and "April 29, 1992 (Miami)", received radio airplay in the United States. The band released three studio albums, one live album, five compilation albums, three EPs, and one box set. Their first two albums, "40oz. to Freedom" (1992) and "Robbin’ the Hood" (1994), achieved moderate popularity in the United States. However, the band’s commercial breakthrough came with their self-titled third album, released in 1996 shortly after Nowell’s death. The album reached number 13 on the Billboard 200 and included the single "What I Got", which reached number one on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. By 2009, Sublime had sold over 17 million albums worldwide, including approximately ten million in the United States. Michael Happoldt and Marshall Goodman contributed to multiple recordings. In 2009, the surviving members attempted to reform the band with guitarist Rome Ramirez, a young musician and fan from California. After a performance at Cypress Hill’s Smokeout Festival, a court ruling prevented the use of the name Sublime without permission from
