AMERICAN ROCK BAND Sublime - comprising vocalist-guitarist Bradley Nowell, bassist Eric Wilson and drummer Bud Gaugh churned out some of the most captivating music through the Nineties. The band's blend of rock, reggae and ska spawned hits such as "Wrong Way," "Santeria," "Badfish," "What I Got," "Caress Me Down," "40oz to Freedom" and more.
