Though the band's career was cut tragically short by the overdose of Nowell, they built a solid cult-following and
reachedmainstreampopularity with theirthird and final outing, "Sublime". Though Nowell would never live to see the entity that
wouldbe his band, his legacycontinues with the popularity of hismusic.
The band broke up shortly after Nowell's death, as they saw no way they could continue under the Sublime banner. The
twowould go on toform the LongBeach Dub All Stars, with Wilson moving on to Long Beach Shortbus a few albums later.
BudGaugh has apparently retiredfrom professional musicianship.
However, in 2009 Sublime reformed at the Cypress Hill Smokeout festival joined by singer Rome Ramirez. Although this was
acontroversialmove manyfriends of the band agreed with the idea of paying tribute to a legend. After a lawsuit, the
newversion of Sublime was forced tochange their name toSublime with Rome.
