Sublime 101

"To Swim Is Human, To Dive Is SUBLIME."

Big Up! Sublime,
Ye Cyant understand da sublime ya know? Cuz Love is lovely. F**k all the Labels out there like Stephen Thomas Erlewine! Stick a big 1!

we cyan rock ye wit de dub music. Combining a variety of genre; breakneck speed Ska punk, smoothe Soulful rock, enticing Chill dub, Hip-hop reggae, and Socal Surf. Remember Bradley's Sweet, Boisterous, and Soulful voice? His lyrics were Clever, Carefree, and Smart. We'll play Distinct sounds very similar including Elvis costello's vibrato, Billy Stritch (tenor), a phish tone, and "wicky & wiley" lyrics like lauryn hill's "Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest." I added artists who have that wild gansta dancehall sound!!! RESPECT. Just-Ice


You'll hear Covers, Samples, Similar sounds... you Name it!

Dub/Reggae Orignators
- Marley & "Scratch' Perry/ King Tubs

Bradley would sing Whitney Houston,
- so you'll hear Rnb music as well...

Half-Pint & u-roy style!

Toots and Maytals - 54-46 That's my Number
- I've seen toots live. Great reggae w/ call-response and such a groove.

Krs-one
- hip-hop. Originality, Respect, and Truth.

Jimi Hendrix
- "Under my Voodoo" ending has stereo pan.

Jimmy Cliff & BOB MARLEY
- voice "cues"

Janes Addiction
- Rock wall of sound. great solo's. eg. 'Burritos'

Beach Boys
- Summery cali surf ("sublime were the badass beach boys. Tattoos, drugs, and a punk rock attitude.")

Grateful Dead
- Summery-Trip carefree feelgood jam.

Nirvana - Rape me
Nowell said he tried to emulate Cobain. Similar "Date Rape"

"Steve Miller Band on a bad trip. Garden Grove recalls irritable 70's Miles Davis (On the Corner, Agharta etc.)" - 77Jim ****I added these albums, but I may reconsider)****

Matisyahu
- great deep reggae with freesyling/beatbox/soulful vocals mixed with hip-hop and rock music

a dash of Pepper for the young ladies

KARATE:
-a an overall clean pure rock sound.
-the connection between all bass drum and guitars is phenomenal; complementing each-other like parts of a puzzle.
-great amazing guitar vamping(improvisation) that gives the song individuality. matching nowell's multi-dimensional signature style; minimal Pinch Harmonics (the "make your guitar squeal" technique)


***** i have added seeds based Allmusic.com and rewind selector "recycled" songs Sublime covered.

Sublime 101 has identical bands to Substylie like The Expendables. I am THINKING about adding shortbus, Beastie Boys, Arrested development and Slightyl SToopid...

I couldn't add The Falling Idols...
but their guitarist Ross Fletcher heavily influenced Brad:
