Sublime

Sublime was a Ska punk band formed in 1988. The band was comprised of guitarist and lead singer Bradley Nowell, bassist Eric Wilson and drummer Bud Gaugh. The band released their debut album, 40 Oz. To Freedom, in 1994. The album included the radio hit Date Rape and fan favorite songs Badfish and Smoke Two Joints. The band's second and final independently released album, Robbin' The Hood, was released in 1994. The album, while poorly produced, still included fan favorite songs Saw Red, Pool Shark, Steady B Loop Dub, All You Need, STP and Greatest Hits. In 1995 the band signed to a major label. The band came to an end following the death of Nowell just months before the release of their self titled album. Despite this, the album was commercially successful, spawning four hit singles, What I Got, Santeria, Wrong Way and Doin' Time and selling over 5 million copies in the United States alone. The band released various compilations after Nowell's death such as, Second-Hand Smoke and Sublime Acoustic: Bradley Nowell & Friends.
