Sublime With Rome
Sublime With Rome
Sublime With Rome is a musical collaboration between Sublime bassist Eric Wilson and vocalist/guitarist Rome Ramirez, a young fan of Sublime. They initially formed and performed under Sublime in 2009, then changed their name to Sublime With Rome when the estate of deceased frontman Bradley Nowell said that he owned the rights to that name, and thus they couldn’t perform music under that name without permission from them.
The band started out with Eric and Rome alongside original Sublime drummer Bud Gaugh. This lineup released the album Yours Truly in 2011, the first album of new Sublime-related material since the original band’s breakup in 1996. Five months after release, Bud Gaugh left the band, eventually leading to the hiring of Josh Freese as their new drummer in 2012. This lineup released the album Sirens in 2015.
