Sublime

Though they have come to be one of the defining bands of the '90s, and an entire era of alt-rock, the number of people who actually got to see Sublime live in their heyday is remarkably small. They wouldn't experience their major breakthrough until the tragic death of Bradley Nowell, so most of their shows up until the immediate tours after 40oz to Freedom started gaining traction a year after it's release took place in impromptu settings at house parties, barbecues, and bars. There have been many, many bootlegs produced of these shows, but none can boast what $5 at the Door does: It's the best sounding live recording of the band at their pre-Sublime prime, capturing their 1994 set at Tressel Tavern, as they knock out Grateful Dead covers and sound like a runaway train car that is laying it's own track as it rambles down the tracks.

Double vinyl LP pressing of the newly remastered edition of this 1994 album in gatefold jacket. Robbin' The Hood is the second album by the Southern California ska-punk band Sublime. It is noted for it's experimental nature and numerous samples and interpolations of other artists. Gwen Stefani, of No Doubt, contributes guest vocals on the track "Saw Red." Robbin' The Hood is noted for having low production values (the album sleeve boasts of it's "13 self-produced 4-track home recordings"). It has been speculated that it was Brad Nowell's answer to the people who were beginning to feel he was in the music business for the money. The album is full of fillers, instrumentals and 'Raleigh Soliloquies,' selections from a rant recorded by a schizophrenic man named Raleigh Theodore Sakers. This was done as it was originally only going to have six tracks. According to late lead singer Bradley Nowell's wife, the majority of the album was recorded in a Long Beach, California crack house.

Double vinyl LP pressing of this newly-remastered 1996 album. Sublime is the eponymous third and final studio album by the ska punk band. The album was produced by Paul Leary and David Kahne. Sublime formed in 1988 in Long Beach, California by vocalist/guitarist Bradley Nowell, bassist Eric Wilson, and drummer Bud Gaugh. By the time it came to record this major label debut, Nowell had been struggling with a heroin addiction. Sublime was recorded over a period of three months in Austin, Texas. The album's musical style contains elements of punk rock, reggae, and ska, as well as dancehall, hip hop, and dub music, with tempos ranging wildly. Nowell's lyrical subject matter relates to relationships, prostitution, riots, and addiction.

Before the tragic death of singer/songwriter/guitarist Brad Nowell, Sublime recorded their self-titled major label debut. Produced by Butthole Surfer's Paul Leary, the album is a study in versatility, with 18 cuts ranging from dancehall to ska to psychedelic dub to rock to hardcore punk and beyond. The band's brand of genre-shifting experimentation yields remarkable results in this recording, sure to capture their rabid, grass-roots U.S. following. First single/video: "What I Got."

Long Beach legends Sublime were a ska punk/alternative-rock trio based around the considerable charisma of frontman Bradley Nowell who died tragically at just 28 on the eve of the release of the band's major label and eponymous debut, a third wave mash up that won critical acclaim and brought focus to their previous work. Now considered to be key players in contemporary Californian music their legacy hasn't dimmed and in Nowell you'll find one of the true originals. Available for the first time on vinyl, Sublime's Gold-certified 1999 Greatest Hits compilation gathers the band's finest material from Sublime ("What I Got," "Wrong Way," "Santeria," "Doin' Time"), 40 Oz. to Freedom ("40 Oz. to Freedom," "Smoke To Joints," "Date Rape," "Badfish") and Robbin' the Hood ("Saw Red," "Pool Shark") and comes packaged in a matchbook-style jacket.
