    Rome is leaving Sublime with Rome.

    Briefly, in 2009, Wilson and Ramirez toured under the name Sublime but were sued by the Nowell family and eventually reached a legal settlement and license agreement with Nowell’s wife, Troy Dendekker, to tour under the moniker Sublime with Rome.

    While Wilson and Ramirez were touring and performing, Jakob was developing his own musical talents, forming the Long Beach band LAW in 2013. Earlier this year, Jakob and his mother agreed with Wilson and Gaugh to relaunch Sublime with Jakob at the helm under the management of Kevin Zinger and Joe Escalante.

    What this development means for Rome Ramirez is not totally clear. In a statement, the singer announced that “after almost two remarkable decades, I am announcing my departure from Sublime with Rome at the close of 2024. The upcoming performances over the next year will allow us to reflect on countless incredible memories together!”

    He sounds exactly like him, its amazing. When I listen to the song Time Traveler by Jakobs Castle it totally sounds like Brad

    You can’t recreate the lightning in a bottle that was sublime sorry. Rome and the son both seem like great musicians but sublime died with Bradley.

    Because rather than enjoy the tune they are analyzing his ability to recreate sublime. There will always be that dynamic. It sucks but it’s true.

    This shit feels like when old southern rock bands like the Alman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd replace the dead members with sons, nephews, cousins, etc... At best it makes for cruise ship entertainment.

    I 100% agree with you, but at the same time, what is Sublime with… supposed to do in 2024? Brad’s son is closer than Rome to the real thing, even if it’s still not Brad, and this will definitely draw up some interest when they hit the road for a while. Sublime has been a cover band since the 90s.
