Subliminal Message

    Sublime was a reggae / ska / punk band that originated in California in the late 80's. The group disbanded after frontman Brad Nowell overdosed on heroin in 1996. The remaining members, Floyd Gaugh and Eric Wilson, attempted to reunite in 2009. The band would have a new frontman, Rome Ramirez, but they would still be called Sublime. This was the problem. Brad Nowell, who passed away over a decade ago, owned the rights to the name Sublime, and it was his intention that the name never be used in a band that did not include him. After a legal battle with Nowell's family, Wilson and Gaugh were forced to find a new name for the band. Now performing under the name Sublime With Rome, the band is expected to begin a 150-date tour soon.
