My son was a huge Sublime fan. He was 20 when he died 10 yrs ago. Every time i hear their music its like having Jake close again😢

I was born and raised in Long Beach California where Sublime is from. I had the honor of seeing them before they were big in a backyard party back in the early 1990's. I can still remember the vibe of their music when I saw them play and how it made me feel. It was something really special and different from anything I had ever heard at that time. And yes they had lots of influence from Mexican culture growing up a white boy in the LBC just like I did. The Mexican brothers were our homies and family.

Sublime encapsulated the Long Beach and west coast culture. The whole scene had a mesh of multiple cultures and backgrounds, because Southern California (Long Beach specifically) is a melting pot. We all knew each other, hung with each other, fought each other and drank together. This band is Southern California in the real sense, not that nonsense Hollywood bs

OMFG The Violent Femmes!!!! DUDE I thought I was the only one that loved them in the 90's! hahahah Them and the Ramones...hell yeah! Damn....I'm old as fluff. lol

" What I Got " and " Wrong Way " are good ones by Sublime.

In my opinion Sublime is the greatest band to ever exist. They've been on my every day playlist for or almost 30 years now

For those who don’t know, “Sancho” ain’t one specific dude. “Sancho” is a term for whoever messing around with your girl behind your back.

Sublime is such a vibe, man. Brings me back to the days driving aimlessly around in summer with the windows down and blasting sublime. Good times. 😊💜💜

Im very glad to hear you exploring the music period loosly defined as "the 3nd wave of ska" 311 and sublime were part of an era where the resurgance of Ska music rooted in the 60's (Al Capone - Prince Buster) that be came re popularised in the 80's (Ruder Than You - The Bodysnatchers) then made a comeback in the 90's. Sublimes influence on music of this era cannot be understated. You can see Sublimes influence on music still, in bands like "10ft Ganja Plant"

Damn, the parts you didnt remember ARE the song to me - that was my whole original conception of Sublime - sweet sounding songs w/ hard AF lyrics. This is from their self-titled third album, easily their most commercially successful, but their debut, 40 oz. To Freedom, will always be one of my favorite albums of all time. Every song is a banger, a wholly original (despite containing six covers) blending of reggae, ska, and SoCal punk with heavy Chicano and hip hop influence - it is very much OF 1992, yet also completely timeless. Ending with a song of appreciation for the wisdom emparted to them by KRS-ONE, and a heavenly, acoustic rendition of By the Rivers of Babylon, it's amazingly confident and comfortable with itself for a debut from some 20 year old kids.

love the violent femmes- add it up , country love song , blister in the sun and much more. Nice rabbit hole to follow

Bradley was ahead of his time. He encapsulated that moment in time. With song about the LA riots, loving Reggae and being an addict in the most beautiful way only he could.

Please please do the Femmes! Fantastic memories to their music. They still tour and it is the best time!

Sublime just had a vibe with every song. Put a smile on my face. I love caress me down and the way he flows from English to Spanish. I always forget that he died before they made the video

The sky/California reggae sort of sound is just such a vibe. It's like, chill but energetic at the same time. It's like it harnessed the power of early, natural ganja.

**GOING THE DISTANCE**

ABSOLUTELY!! u should react to the Violent Femmes... they are now & will always be 🔥!!

This song has made it on my "forever playlist" after hearing it the first time when it first came out. The vibe of the song gets to my core to this day.

I grew up in So. Cal with my teen years being through the 90's, and this song has always been a vibe for me. I still listen to it on warm days with my windows down when I am missing the beach or California. ❤️🌴 Oh and the Violent Femmes are classic and so rad, my friends and I listened to them all the time in the 90's.

Same....this song makes me feel free, yet sad, kind of a longing. I've always loved it. Thanks. ❤❤❤
