Story of Sublime

Sublime, the Long Beach, California trio, carved a unique niche in the alternative music scene with their potent blend of ska, punk, and reggae. Formed in 1988 by Bradley Nowell (vocals/guitar), Eric Wilson (bass), and Bud Gaugh (drums), the band also famously featured Lou Dog, Nowell's Dalmatian, as their mascot. Their early albums, 40 Oz. to Freedom (1992) and Robbin' the Hood (1994), built a dedicated following, but it was their self-titled third album, released posthumously in 1996 following Nowell's tragic heroin overdose, that catapulted them to mainstream success. The album, peaking at #13 on the Billboard 200, spawned the iconic hit "What I Got," which topped the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. Other tracks like "Santeria," "Wrong Way," "Doin' Time," and "April 29, 1992 (Miami)" received extensive airplay, cementing Sublime's legacy. Their impressive discography includes three studio albums, a live album, five compilations, three EPs, and a box set, a testament to their enduring influence on alternative rock despite their tragically short lifespan.
