Sublime's New Album: A Father's Legacy

0:00It's March 26th. Welcome to music news today, powered by AI, and tuned in to what's next. Sublime is dropping their first new album in 30 years, called Until the Sun Explodes, separate release on June 12th. The Scott Punk band features original members, Bud Gaw on drums, and Eric Wilson on bass, now fronted by Yacob Noel, the 30-year-old son of there, Latesinger Bradley Noel. The group formed in Long Beach, California, back in 1988. After Bradley's death from a drug overdose in 1996, their self-titled third album still climbed to number 13 on the Billboard 2. Hundred chart. They briefly reformed as Sublime with Rome before Jacob stepped in last year. Fans are buzzing about this as a heartfelt tribute to the band's legacy and Bradley's influence. Jacob has called it an epilogue to their classic 1996 record, honoring his dad's impact on his life. His laid-back vocal style echoes his father's signature chill vibe.

Their earlier single Encinada hit number one on Billboard's alternative airplay chart for eight weeks last fall. The title track out now, alongside a skate-themed video, Sublime heads to Australia and New Zealand this month, then hits sold out Red Rock shows, and their own festivals. This fresh chapter keeps the spirit alive for a new generation.
