Tragedy cut this '90s band's fame short, but now the singer's son has the mic
Briefly

Sublime's legacy continues as Jakob Nowell, the son of late frontman Bradley Nowell, takes the stage in front of 120,000 fans. Although Bradley died in 1996, Sublime's self-titled album released posthumously propelled the band to superstardom, selling over 5 million copies. Critics note their unique genre-blending appeal, merging ska, punk, and reggae, which resonated widely. Following Bradley's death, the remaining members formed Long Beach Dub Allstars, further emphasizing the band's Jamaican influences. Sublime's impact remains significant in alt-rock history and music culture.
The band's broad appeal came from their ability to blend genres, endearing them to ska, reggae, punk and rap fans.
Sublime was the perfect union of hip-hop and punk, combining killer samples and good beats with singable melodies.
