En los soleados vecindarios de Long Beach, California, nació una banda única que dejaría una marca indeleble en la música. Sublime se formó en 1988, fusionando el punk rock y el reggae para crear un sonido distintivo y rompedor. La banda estaba compuesta por Bradley Nowell en la guitarra y voz, Eric Wilson en el bajo y Bud Gaugh en la batería.
Desde sus humildes inicios tocando en fiestas y bares locales, Sublime rápidamente comenzó a ganar seguidores gracias a su energía inigualable y letras provocadoras.
La música de Sublime es una mezcla ecléctica de diversos géneros, incluyendo ska, reggae, punk y hip-hop. Sus letras a menudo abordan temas como el amor, las drogas, el racismo y la vida callejera en una ciudad costera de California.
Sublime se distinguía por la habilidad única de Bradley Nowell para mezclar géneros aparentemente dispares en canciones que eran tanto melódicas como llenas de actitud. Esto les permitió conectar con una amplia gama de oyentes y crear una base de fans diversa y dedicada.
El primer álbum de estudio de la banda, "40oz. to Freedom" (1992), fue lanzado bajo el sello independiente Skunk Records. Este trabajo inicialmente pasó desapercibido pero ganó tracción con singles como "Smoke Two Joints" y "Badfish".
En 1994, Sublime lanzó su segundo álbum, "Robbin' the Hood". Aunque este disco no tuvo un impacto comercial significativo en su momento, sigue siendo una joya cult,

Don't Push
Stolen from an Africa land,
chased out with a knife
with a face like
Bob Marley
and a mouth like a motor-bike
Oh well the bars are always open,
and the time is always right
and if god's good word goes unspoken
the music goes all night
and it goes..
If I was Bob Marley I said could you be loved?
and if I was Half Pint I'd ball lord up above
If I was Mike Tyson I'd look for a fight
If I was a boomtown rat I would be stayin' up all night
If I was the King Ad-Rock I would get stoopid dumb
and if rhymes were valiums I'd be comfortably numb
If I had a shotgun, you know what I'd do?
I'd point that shit straight at the sky
and shoot heaven on down for you
Because the bars are always open
and the time is always right
and if god's good work goes unspoken
the music goes all night,
and it goes
I want a lover but I can't find the time
I want a reason but can't find a rhyme
I want to start some static but I can't afford
to get slammed to the ground like I fell off my skateboard
hey
Now a days is clear as you please
strap with protection or struck with disease...disease
laughter, it's free
anytime just call me

When your down with Sublime
you get
funky fresh lyrics.
Stolen from an Africa land,
I'll chase that other bar,
I saw my best friend tonight, so, don't push me too far
I'm gonna run
come down with the new lyrics
get hit, get hip,
don't slip you knuckle heads
racism is scism on a serious tip
you don't belive me then I go on bust your lip
Higher the mountain, it hard to climb
rougher the rhythm man, it must be Sublime
listen yellow lover yet it right on time
we got cricket with the quickness and the bass line...
