#Sublime With Rome

[chaunceyandchumleysdad]

I saw this poster for a great lineup at the No Values festival in Pomona, CA. I noticed Sublime on the bill, but it was only when I shared it with my son, Dylan, that he noted, "Sublime? Not Sublime With Rome?" Scanning the internet, I found out that Bradley Nowell's son, Jackob, has joined the band. Apparently, they are now touring as Sublime for the first time since Bradley's untimely death. On the other hand, I did not find anything suggesting that Sublime With Rome has split up. Who knows where this is all going, but it could be a fun ride. Sublime is also playing at Coachella so perhaps we will see them at Riot Fest this year.

Anyway, that was a long winded way to say that I am kicking off the weekend by Doin' Time with Sublime!

What happened to Sublime?

After the death of Bradley Nowell, the group disbanded. However, in 2009 they had Rome Ramirez become the new lead singer (Breihan, 2023). They changed the name to Sublime with Rome, after lawsuit claims and ownership issues. However, after almost 15 years, Ramirez left the band. They replaced Ramirez with Bradley’s son Jakob. Sublime is performing with Jakob this year at Coachella. In the Rolling Stone article, he said “it seemed like it was time for me to step into that role,” (Hiatt, 2024). He wants to keep Sublime going in his family and he wants to do it for his dad, who was unable to perform his songs onstage. Years after Bradley’s passing, his family turned his house into a recovery facility (The Nowell Family Foundation, n.d.). They provide treatments for other people in the music industry, who are struggling. This facility is also located in California.

Sublime to Reform with Jakob Nowell Replacing Late Father Bradley Nowell

- “It’s an honor to carry on with our family’s name and legacy with Sublime,” Jakob Nowell says

Jakob Nowell will replace his late father, Bradley Nowell, singing and playing guitar alongside bassist Eric Wilson and drummer Bud Gaugh as Sublime.

“To have Brad’s son playing our music is the closest thing possible to playing with my old buddy Brad,” Wilson said in a statement.

Bradley Nowell died in 1996 and a version of the band has been performing as Sublime with Rome since then. Rome Ramirez announced he would leave the group at the end of 2024; this latest news seems to hasten his exit, though the singer hadn’t commented as Sound Bites went to press.

“This has so many layers for me,” Jakob Nowell said in a statement.

“On a spiritual level, my father passed away when he was 28, and I am 28 now. It’s an honor to carry on with our family’s name and legacy with Sublime. … It’s an absolute privilege to be able to play these Sublime songs with legendary musicians like Eric and Bud. On a personal level, my uncles Bud and Eric are meant to play these songs, and the fans want to hear them. I’m excited, nervous, thankful and humbled all at the same time to step into this role and start this new chapter. It feels like my big crazy family is finally back together, and I couldn’t be more happy.”

Some people, some people, some people say

True love grows deeper with miles away

Four in the morning I'm lying awake

Thinking about how it used to be
