## 8. FAQ

**Q: Who are the current members of Sublime?**
The current lineup (as of 2023–present) consists of Eric Wilson (bass), Bud Gaugh (drums), and Jakob Nowell (Bradley Nowell's son, vocals/guitar).

**Q: What happened to Bradley Nowell?**
Bradley Nowell, the original vocalist and guitarist of Sublime, died of a heroin overdose on May 25, 1996, at a motel in San Francisco, California. He was 28 years old. His death occurred the day after the band's last live show in Petaluma, California (May 24, 1996), and two months before the release of the self-titled album.

**Q: What is Sublime's most successful album?**
Sublime's self-titled third album (1996) is their most commercially successful release. It peaked at #13 on the Billboard 200, spawned the #1 Modern Rock hit "What I Got," and was certified 5× Platinum by the RIAA in December 1999. As of 2009, Sublime has sold over 17 million albums worldwide.

**Q: When did Sublime reform, and who is in the new lineup?**
Sublime reformed in 2023 with Eric Wilson (bass), Bud Gaugh (drums), and Jakob Nowell (Bradley Nowell's son). This followed a period during which Wilson and Gaugh had performed as Sublime with Rome (with vocalist Rome Ramirez). Sublime with Rome subsequently disbanded at the end of 2024.

**Q: What were Sublime's biggest hit singles?**
Sublime's biggest hits include "What I Got" (#1 Modern Rock Tracks), "Santeria," "Wrong Way," "Doin' Time," "April 29, 1992 (Miami)," and "Date Rape." Most were released to U.S. radio in 1997 from the posthumous self-titled album.

**Q: Where did Sublime originate and when did they play their first show?**
Sublime formed in Long Beach, California in 1988. They played their first gig on July 4, 1988, on the Long Beach Peninsula in Belmont Shore.

**Q: What label did Sublime record on?**
Sublime originally self-released music on their own label, Skunk Records (founded by Bradley Nowell). In June 1994, they were signed to Gasoline Alley, an imprint of MCA Records. Their self-titled album was released on Gasoline Alley/MCA/Atlantic Records.

**Q: What is the connection between Sublime and Sublime with Rome?**
In 2009, surviving members Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh attempted to reform Sublime with Rome Ramirez on vocals. A Los Angeles judge banned this lineup from using the Sublime name without permission from Nowell's estate, so they renamed themselves Sublime with Rome. They released three albums. Gaugh left shortly after their 2011 debut *Yours Truly*. In 2023, the original Sublime name was revived with Jakob Nowell joining Wilson and Gaugh, and Sublime with Rome disbanded at the end of 2024.
