Sublime Drops Hints of New Music Following Reunion

Originally active from 1988 to 1996, Sublime faced an untimely demise when frontman Bradley Nowell passed away from a heroin overdose at the age of 28. The band made a comeback in 2009, featuring Rome Ramirez on vocals and guitar. After initial tours under the Sublime moniker, they transitioned to Sublime With Rome due to trademark concerns raised by Nowell’s estate. Last year, Sublime With Rome announced their breakup as Sublime reunited, including Nowell’s son Jakob on vocals, setting the stage for their upcoming performance at Coachella.

In a recent interview with SPIN, the band hinted at the possibility of new music post-Coachella. Bud Gaugh, when asked about their plans, stated, “We’ll see how it goes from the rehearsals, but I’m pretty certain we’re gonna see some music coming out with this project.”

Nowell expressed his desire to contribute to the band’s legacy and explore collaborations with alternative artists. He mentioned the prospect of inviting Gwen Stefani to perform their 1994 duet, ‘Saw Red,’ at Coachella, aligning with No Doubt’s own anticipated reunion show. Gaugh responded, saying, “I mean, come on. It seems like a no-brainer.”

Coachella 2024 is scheduled for April 12-14 and April 19-21. Pre-sale tickets are available starting this Friday (January 19) at 11 am Pacific Time.

In other news, Sublime announced a new biopic entering production at Sony in 2022. The film will involve the band’s surviving members, bassist Eric Wilson and drummer Bud Gaugh, serving as executive producers.

As Sublime gears up for Coachella and potentially new music, fans eagerly anticipate the continuation of the band’s legacy and the evolution of their iconic sound.
