Sublime

Californian rock outfit Sublime split opinion when it comes to their music due to the controversial manner of their lyrical content. Originally breaking up in the late 90s after lead singer Bradley Nowell died of a heroin overdose, the group now tour under the pseudonym Sublime with Rome after enlisting the help of vocalist and guitarist Rome Ramirez.

This group went on to have Billboard success with their original album 'Yours Truly' yet tonight's setlist is mainly focused on Sublime's original three albums. The crowd is enthusiastic and energetic and this is matched well by Rome's frontman style as he whips them into more of a frenzy for favourites including 'Santeria' and 'Doing Time'. The tongue in cheek lyrical stylings of 'Date Rape' are still rather cringe worthy even two decades later yet the majority of the crowds seems to enjoy singing and dancing along. It is fair to say Sublime were never known for lyrical intelligence however if this is your sort of thing, you won't be disappointed as the instrumentals are on point and all the 'classics' are played.
