Considered musical innovators and pioneers of the ska/reggae/punk spinoff genre. The band formed in Long Beach, California by

Though the band's career was cut tragically short by the overdose of Nowell, they built a solid cult-following and reached mainstream
popularity with their third and final outing, "Sublime". Though Nowell would never live to see the entity that would be his band, his legacy
continues with the popularity of his music.
The band broke up shortly after Nowell's death, as they saw no way they could continue under the Sublime banner. The two would go on to
form the Long Beach Dub All Stars, with Wilson moving on to Long Beach Shortbus a few albums later. Bud Gaugh has apparently retired
from professional musicianship.
However, in 2009 Sublime reformed at the Cypress Hill Smokeout festival joined by singer Rome Ramirez. Although this was a controversial
move many friends of the band agreed with the idea of paying tribute to a legend. After a lawsuit, the new version of Sublime was forced to
change their name to Sublime with Rome.
