Sublime Rose To Fame In The Mid 90s On The Back Of the California Punk Explosion Engendered

Formed in 1988 as a garage punk band, Sublime rose to fame in the mid 90s on the back of the California punk explosion engendered by Green Day and the Offspring, though Sublime boosted their punk influences with heavy elements of reggae and ska. The band released only two albums during its first seven years, and finally found mainstream success with a self titled release in 1996, It proved to be Sublime's last proper album, however as lead singer Brad Nowell died in May 1996, just two months before the record's release. The three Long Beach musicians who comprised Sublime vocalist and guitarist Nowell, bassist Eric Wilson and drummer Bud Gaugh played their first gig on July 4, 1988, at a small Long Beach club, The group began touring heavily while amassing an increasingly substantial following, especially among the surf or skate beach crowd. After four years of concentrating strictly on live shows, Sublime recorded their first album 40oz, to Freedom in 1992, The LP was released on Skunk Records a label formed by Nowell with Sublime manager Miguel and sold at local shows, but it really started to break when local radio station KROQ began playing the single Date Rape two years after its initial release.
