Music Canada Releases New Report Prior To CMW's Music Cities Summit

Sublime are gearing up to release their first new album in 30 years. On Wednesday (March 25) the ska punk trio featuring original members drummer Bud Gaugh and bassist Eric Wilson and now fronted by Jakob Nowell — son of late frontman Bradley Nowell — revealed that they’ve completed work on Until the Sun Explodes.

In a statement on Instagram, Nowell, 30, noted that they consider the group’s smash 1996 self-titled third album — which contained such iconic hits as “What I Got,” “Santeria,” “Wrong Way” and “Doin’ Time” — to be the “last” Sublime record that will ever be made. “There’s no replacing history, period,” Nowell stated. “Until the Sun Explodes the album is an epilogue, and ‘Until the Sun Explodes’ the single is the epilogue to the epilogue. It is a tribute to the expansive works of Sublime, it is an acknowledgment for all that my father has done for me my entire life, and most importantly it is a thank you. I love you dad, and I owe you my life.”
