After he left the band he ended up hanging out at home and staying active with several different hobbies. Bud Gaugh – Seth Rogenīud actually went back to play with Eric Wilson and a new front man that would take the place of Brad Nowell, but they were barred from using the Sublime name and instead named their band Sublime With Rome, which felt was a mistake in hindsight. At this point just finding people that would fit the physical description of the band members during their heyday would be the right move, and Chris could do this when it comes to Bradley.

Plus he’s still fairly young and could play a part such as that which might suit this movie and rock it without much effort. Chris Pine isn’t much of a stranger to the type of character that needs to be stimulated constantly as his time as Captain Kirk in the new Star Trek movies might have made him the perfect candidate for this type of a role. It was said that Bradley was kind of a troubled soul and had been for some time as he was a bit needy and had to find some sort of outlet to fuel his passions and keep him busy. Despite that however, their songs have received an insane amount of time on the radio and their sales have still been up throughout the years as more and more people find out just how addictive they really are and how great their songs continue to be.Ĭasting a biopic of the band would be kind of easy but it’s fair to say that a few people might want in so it might not be a quick process. Unfortunately when Brad overdosed on heroin the band had no further interest in going on without him, and Sublime pretty much died after his unfortunate passing. The band had a sound that a lot of people found was hard to describe but somehow sank into the bones in a way that was absolutely intoxicating, not to mention infectious since people ended up wanting more. While Bud Gaugh and Eric Wilson had known each other for years, Bradley Nowell introduced them both to reggae and ska. At first people didn’t know what to make of their sound, but after a while a lot of folks took to it quite easily and found that it had a nice beat and a good rhythm to it that they could enjoy and just feel mellow about. They even played the same venues as No Doubt as a lot of hardcore fans probably know. They played their first gig on July 4th, 1988 and from that point on took to playing with other ska bands at parties and clubs. That tragic loss effectively ended the band (aside from a reboot in 2009 as Sublime with Rome)-but certainly not their influence, which has since reigned over third-wave ska, rap rock, nu-metal, 21st-century genre-obliterators like twenty one pilots and Post Malone, and even Lana Del Rey.Anyone remember how Sublime used to be so unknown that clubs refused to book them? It’s true to be completely honest and it’s also true that they created their own music label to give themselves a bit of a boost.
These restless anthems would prove even more potent in the wake of Nowell’s death from a heroin overdose, just two months prior to the album’s release.
With 1996’s Sublime, the band made its launch into the mainstream with career-defining hits “What I Got,” “Santeria,” “Wrong Way,” and “Doin’ Time,” all of which reveal Nowell as a sharp, sincere poet of the times with his evocative tales of unfaithful lovers, broken homes, and the sun-dazed illusion of lovin’ and livin’ easy. Sublime name-dropped Bob Marley and KRS-One, covered Grateful Dead and Toots & The Maytals, sampled Primal Scream and The Doors, and introduced Gwen Stefani (on “Saw Red”) at least a year before No Doubt began their rise out of Orange County. That album and its follow-up, 1994’s Robbin’ the Hood, are scrappy, lo-fi documents of coming-of-age revelations fueled by sex, drugs, and a voracious appetite for rock, reggae, and hip-hop. Sidestepping grunge’s moody rock template, Sublime slipped their hardcore melodies with rocksteady riddims, thick dub bass, furious record scratching, and savvy hip-hop sampling, and unabashedly washed it all down with cans of malt liquor-the titular inspiration for their self-released 1992 debut, 40oz. Coming out of Long Beach, California, the trio of vocalist/guitarist Bradley Nowell, bassist Eric Wilson, and drummer Bud Gaugh joined forces in 1988 and soon led the charge in spreading SoCal punk-an urgent, unruly mix of rebel calls drenched in sun, surf, and stoner philosophy-to unsuspecting suburban homes across the U.S.
Sublime’s woozy, skanky ska-punk not only represents the “LBC,” but also ‘90s alternative at its most defiant and decadent.
