Having been such a huge Sublime fan and their punk/ska sound for so long and the forever lasting impact that band had on my life, I had no idea what to expect of the new line up with Rome taking Bradley's place on vocals (Bradley passed away from a heroin overdose in 96). I have to say that when I went to see the new Sublime with Rome perform, I wasn't sure at all what to expect. In 2011 the band went on the 311 Unity Tour and a year later the Sublime with Rome/Cypress Hill/Pepper Tour and a new album is expected sometime in the future. 9 on the Billboard 200 however bandmates expressed regret at using the Sublime name at all, in particular drummer Bud Gaugh who has since departed to spend more time with him family. In 2010 the band played numerous North American dates, performed their first new song “Panic” on Jimmy Kimmel Live and announced their debut album as a group “Your Truly” to be released on the label Fueled by Ramen. Brad Nowell’s heirs refused the band to play under the moniker Sublime, so the band changed to Sublime with Rome. In 2009 the remaining members decided to get the band back together and enlisted the help of Sublime fan and young guitarist Rome Ramirez. The band sold over 17 million albums worldwide, 10 million of which were in the U.S. 13 on the Billboard 200 and was released two months after lead singer Bradley Nowell’s death from heroin overdose. The band released three studio albums, a live album, five compilation albums and three EPs, however did not experience significant commercial success until their third full-length self-titled album in 1996. Sublime were a well-established ska punk and alternative group from California, U.S., made up of Bradley Nowell on guitar and vocals, Eric Wilson on bass and Bud Gaugh on drums.
