Another thing I like about Sublime the bass is reall kicking and he plays with his fingers .. There's so many drug referances and drinking 40's and swearing in thier songs like they could care less about being politicly correct. or making radio hits . not to mention subject matter in thier songs .. So unlike alot of the well polished acts ,,, the anti boy band group for sure ..
I think Sublime is much more ska/punk than reggae influenced. They were coming up around the SoCal scene about the same time as No Doubt in the early 90's. And the Mighty Bosstones were pretty big on the East coast around the same time. Those bands were most likely influenced by bands like the Specials and Madness in the 70's.
And RIJIMMY, you're right about Bim Skala Bim being from Boston. I saw them a few times at places like the Middle East and The Paradise.

Here's a good one. They used to play this a lot live. Cool little rap at about the 1:54 mark of the song.

I remember barfing in the rest room at a Bim Skala Bim show. Ahh, good times. To be young and have no cares in the world again.
Canalman, definitely check out Fishbone. Get "Truth and Soul"
I hear a little bit of this in Sublime too, this is some cool stiff for riding around on a sunny day
I usually have 1 or 2 Sublime CD's in the mix of 15 or so I carry in the car rotation. They have a great sound and tunes you can crank up when your drivin'. Almost makes me want to partake again... ; )
Anyone been listening to the new Sublime With Rome stuff? I like the songs I've heard so far. This kid actually sounds a lot like Bradley did before he killed himself with the junk.
