This is the discography of Sublime, an American ska punk band formed in Long Beach, California that consisted of Bradley Nowell (vocals and guitar), Bud Gaugh (drums) and Eric Wilson (bass guitar). Over the band’s eight-year career, they released four studio albums, as well as a live album, five compilation albums, three EPs, one box set, five official singles, tribute albums and nine singles. In total, the band sold 14.9 million albums in the United States.[1] The band disbanded after singer Bradley Nowell’s death in 1996, but subsequently reformed in 2023 with Jakob Nowell (Bradley Nowell’s son) performing the lead vocal role alongside original band members Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh. The group released their first album with Jakob Nowell, Until the Sun Explodes in 2026.
