The legendary Sublime will be taking over Skratch N Sniff Radio this weekend for a special 4/20 Smokeout celebration! The two-hour radio event will be hosted by none other than Jakob Nowell, diving deep into the history of Sublime with a blend of classic tracks, remixes, and mashups.
This can’t-miss episode will also feature the world broadcast premiere of Jakob Nowell’s reimagined version of “Garden Grove,” performed under his solo project Jakobs Castle. Tune in this weekend on your local station for a smoky celebration of the iconic Long Beach trio.
In addition to the radio special, Sublime recently announced a new expanded edition of Look At All The Love We Found: A Tribute to Sublime, marking the 20th anniversary of the original tribute album. Set for release on May 9th, the deluxe edition will feature 36 tracks, including newly recorded versions of Sublime classics from some of the band’s favorite artists.
Fans can expect fresh takes from the likes of Pennywise, Zac Brown Band, Slightly Stoopid, Jack Johnson, Jakob Nowell, G. Love & Special Sauce, DENM, and more.
Original Sublime drummer Bud Gaugh spoke with SNSMix.com, reflecting on the impact of the tribute project:
“I remember when we came out with that tribute album ‘Look at All the Love We Found’. It was exciting to see all these different groups get together and show us some love and respect. I mean, these are bands I’ve idolized, looked up to, and respected for everything they’ve done.”
When asked to name a standout from the new lineup of covers, one performance clearly resonated with Gaugh:
“I gotta say—when I heard their version of ‘Date Rape,’ I got mad,” Gaugh said with a chuckle. “They actually played it the way that song was supposed to be played. It was such a good version. Hey man, hats off to you guys. Norwood, you guys are the best. Angelo—I love you guys. Fishbone, thank you all for everything you’ve done. You lit the fire under my seat and kept me warm. My heart’s been really warmed by the gesture of you guys putting this song out the way it was supposed to be written.”
And there’s more to come. Sublime is officially back in the studio, working on their first full-length album since 1996.
