An influential California punk/ska rock band, existed between 1988 and 1996.
Sublime disbanded after their singer Brad Nowell died of a heroin overdose on May 25, 1996, only two months before their self-titled album, which is often considered a landmark ska album, was released. In 2009, the surviving members Bud Gaugh and Eric Wilson attempted to reform Sublime with Rome Ramirez as their new singer and guitarist, but due to a lawsuit, the band was forced to change their name to [A=Sublime With Rome].
