Biography

Sublime is an American reggae punk band from Long Beach, California. Formed in 1988, the original lineup consisted of Bradley Nowell (vocals and guitar), Eric Wilson (bass), and Bud Gaugh (drums). Lou Dog, Nowell’s Dalmatian, served as the band’s mascot. Nowell died of a heroin overdose in 1996, which led to the group’s initial breakup. In 1997, several of the band’s songs, including "What I Got", "Santeria", "Wrong Way", "Doin’ Time", and "April 29, 1992 (Miami)", received radio airplay in the United States.
