Sublime was an American reggae/punk/ska band, active 1988-1996, from Long Beach, California, United States. The band consisted of three members: Bradley Nowell (vocals, guitar), Bud Gaugh (drums), and Eric Wilson (bass guitar). The band achieved mainstream success with their self-titled third album. Sublime can still be heard on radio stations across the US, especially in Long Beach, California. Their songs "Date Rape", "Santeria", "What I Got", "Wrong Way", "Bad Fish" and "Doin' Time" are particularly popular still.
