For the first time in nearly 30 years, Sublime is writing a brand
new chapter.

In this episode of On The Record, Poppy Reid sits down with Jakob
Nowell and Bud Gaugh to talk about the emotional return of one of
alternative music's most iconic bands. Jakob opens up about
stepping into the role once held by his father, Bradley Nowell,
and the responsibility of carrying such an influential legacy.

The band reflects on how Bradley's songwriting was rooted in real
life, why songs like "Date Rape" were written with genuine social
significance, and how that same honest approach continues to
shape Sublime's music today. They also share stories from their
long-awaited reunion, the pressure and exhilaration of returning
on the Coachella stage, and why this new era finally feels right
after decades apart.

From family, grief and legacy to songwriting, touring Australia
and recording their first new album together, this is an honest
conversation about honouring the past while building the future.

Topics discussed:

• Jakob Nowell becoming Sublime's new frontman

• Bradley Nowell's songwriting philosophy

• The real story behind "Date Rape"

• Reuniting after nearly three decades

• The pressure of performing at Coachella

• Family, legacy and finding the missing piece

• Recording Sublime's first new album in 30 years

• Touring Australia and embracing a new generation of fans
