I would say maybe not their original legacy, but they can definitely get some Alt airplay. They've made quite a name for themselves touring.

^ And Rome's feature on The Dirty Heads' "Lay Me Down" isn't too bad for promo either, since it's still getting good recurrent play.

I dunno. I'm so used to hearing Brad's voice. I dunno if I'll be able to get into another one.

Fueled by Ramen? The only good move they ever made was signing The Swellers. I assume they're still with them?

As are a bunch of other good bands: The Academy Is. Panic!, Paramore, VersaEmerge, Forgive Durden, and The Cab. That's right, I like The Cab, and I can never take it back.

Not sure if I'm looking forward to this. Not really a fan of the new singer.

The Swellers eat all them alive. I never knew you were such a fan of emo-pop.

The Swellers are good but I'm kind of wondering why people are treating them like the second coming when they just seem to me like a pretty good pop-punk band. And as for the rest, hey, if it's got great melody, if it's catchy, if the lyrics strike me as enjoyable and fairly witty, why shouldn't I like it?

A couple of them are OK, The Swellers just stand out beyond belief. They sound samey, too, which may be a bit rich coming from me, considering I was listening to The Maine a few moments ago.

I think they're all pretty good bands. Forgive Durden at the very least is a lot more inventive than the others (see Razia's Shadow for details), and I don't see how anyone could deny Paramore or Panic. VersaEmerge strikes me as a great up-and-comer and feels a lot like Paramore, and The Academy Is is just consistent. The Cab had a pretty solid debut but it's been a while since so I'm waiting to see how their second album turns out before I call them good or not.

This just confirms that the Dirty Heads picked up (deservedly, in this case) a breakout hit with "Lay Me Down"..............but also failed to produce any successful follow-ups...............because there remains a sentimentally-charged cult legacy of sorts surrounding Sublime.
When you've only had one album make a decisive commercial impact at the time of its release, and only produced as many singles as fingers you can count on one hand in their original incarnation...........and yet your output is being ceaselessly replayed alongside all these current hits along with a handful of Bob Marley classics...........you KNOW you've established a once-in-a-blue-moon brand of legacy that's incomparable. Sublime are just THAT influential.
And regardless of whether or not you think their place in classic Modern Rock and/or Alternative music is overrated and/or exaggerated...........can you say you blame them? Sublime fits eloquently at the crossroads of all the sub-genres that imbue and characterize this genre of music. They're a bit too eclectic to be likened a rock or punk act, but also a bit too melodic to be likened a ska or reggae act. They have notably more R&B sensibilities than their rock peers, but also are far removed from anything signed to Def Jam Records or the Beastie Boys.
Sublime, arguably, best epitomize the intersecting, reconciling scope of influences that characterize the Alternative/Modern Rock genre..........a genre which has endured quite an identity crisis of sorts lately probably, in part, because no one has been able to fill their sandals. The genre seems largely balkanized now. For instance, you have artists like Matisyahu appealing to the reggae and eclectic hip-hop sensibilities, but they seem to gravitate more to the aesthetics of the genres and to beat-boxing than to the musical fusion. They lack the hybridizing sensibilities of Sublime, and hybridizing, more than anything, exemplifies the genius of this band.
I think a wide swath of Alternative radio listeners most fondly recognize Sublime for that gift, more than anything..............and the fact this is ascending as it is with barely any promotion whatsoever is just as much a statement as it is a whiff of nostalgia...........lamenting the lack of reconciliation and holism within this radio format today.
Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

This isn't amazing, but it's pretty damn good for one listen. I have to give them credit for not leading off with a song with a lazier, more familiar tempo, like "What I Got," "Santeria," or "Doin' Time" (or even "Lay Me Down," for that matter) and going instead with something short and speedy. Not like "Wrong Way," but instead something that more closely resembles a killer album cut like "Seed." The tragedy is that Brad died before even seeing this album's release (although who knows if it would've been as warmly received had he never overdosed) and before anybody really got to see any of its amazingly durable songs performed live. I change the station when their hits come on the radio, largely take them for granted now, and lament that drug-using hippies have hijacked the fanbase over the years (although by covering Bob Marley and Grateful Dead songs, maybe those fans were always more present than I was able to perceive as a teen), but stepping back once again, wow, that's a crushing blow for rock & roll.

Just heard the new song on WJRR. It really does remind me a fast and more punk-styled old Sublime song like "Seed." I don't think it was that memorable and honestly I'm surprised it's climbing up the chart so damn fast. Great to see that even though it's a new vocalist fourteen years later, they can still find tons of success.
