Sublime's New Album: A Father's Legacy

0:00On March 25th, Sublime is back with their first full album since 1996. The band, now featuring Jakob Noel alongside original members Eric Wilson and Bud Gaul, will release until the sun explodes on June 12th through. Atlantic Records This comes two years after their Coachella reunion shows where Jacob stepped in as frontman for his late father Bradley Noel. Earlier this year, they dropped a collaboration called Feel Like That with Stick Figure, blending archival vocals from Bradley with Jakob's new parts. That track isn't on the new album, but last year's single Incinata makes the cut, giving fans a taste of what's ahead. The band formed in 1988 in Southern California, blending Scott and punk sounds. They put out their debut 40-ounce to Freedom in 1992 and followed with Robin the Hood in 1994. Tragedy struck when Bradley died of a heroin overdose in 1996, right before their self-titled album hit shelves. Wilson and Gaul kept touring under names like Sublime with Rome, but now with Jakob, it feels like a true continuation.

1:05Jacob calls the project an epilogue to the band's legacy, a heartfelt nod to his dad's influence and a big thank you. Fans can check out the title track video, filmed around Long Beach with skateboarding stars making cameos. A biopic about Bradley, starring KJ Appa, is also in the works, keeping the Sublime story alive as this album drops. Stay tuned with music news today, AI-powered updates. I'm Corey with The Story.
