Sublime

Sublime was an American ska punk band that consisted of Bradley Nowell, Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh. Nowell died of a heroin overdose in 1996 and Sublime immediately split up.

Sublime released three studio albums, one live album, five compilation albums, three EPs and one box set. Their first two albums, 40 Oz. to Freedom was released in 1992 and Robbin' the Hood was released in 1994, were popular in the United States.

In 1996, their self-titled third album was released shortly after Nowell's death. It peaked at number 13 on the Billboard 200, and spawned the single "What I Got", which remains the band's only number one hit single in their musical career.

The band has sold over 17 million albums worldwide, including about 10 million in the U.S. alone. The band has been credited, for reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the United States during the mid-1990s.

In 2009, the surviving members decided to reform the band with Rome Ramirez to bring back. The new lineup now performs together as Sublime with Rome, who released their debut album Yours Truly in July 2011.
