Following their long-awaited UK debut at the Slam Dunk Festivals last weekend, Sublime have unveiled another new track, ‘Gangstalker’, from their much-anticipated, forthcoming album Until the Sun Explodes, arriving on June 12 via Atlantic Records. ‘Gangstalker’ is accompanied by an equally frenetic visualizer that features vintage footage provided by SRH Productions from their 1994 movie ‘All In The Family.’ Capturing the surf/skate/punk lifestyle and core mentality that defined the SRH brand in the mid-90s, the clip includes surfers and skaters Jason Carney, Joe Crimo, Aaron Chase, and Zinger.

Sublime frontman Jakob Nowell shares: “‘Gangstalker’ is pure chaos. I was so proud when the drum and guitar parts came together the way that they did in the studio. Sometimes you have this idea for how a song should sound in your head and it becomes impossible to translate that into reality. ‘Gangstalker’ is not one of those songs. It is a frenetic, California tweaker, punk anthem that I fully endorse with my life.”

The surprise drop of ‘Gangstalker’ follows the previously released ‘Can’t Miss You’ and album title track/lead single ‘Until the Sun Explodes’ which climbs to #1 on both the Mediabase Alternative radio chart and Billboard Alternative Airplay chart this week marking the band’s first time topping the latter’s chart twice in a row, along with their 2025 single ‘Ensenada,’ also featured on Until the Sun Explodes. ‘Until the Sun Explodes’ finds Jakob Nowell honoring his late father, Bradley Nowell, while the song’s official music video takes the viewer through various locations in Long Beach, CA, tied to the history of Sublime, where their presence feels embedded in the city. A timeless backyard party scene bridges multiple generations, featuring appearances by skateboard legends Christian Hosoi and Omar Hassan, representing Southern California’s punk and skate culture. Bradley Nowell’s influence and presence ties every band member to the moment, linking their legacy, the city, and the next generation.

ABOUT SUBLIME

Sublime, the Long Beach, CA reggae-punk/alternative rock trio, was founded in 1988 by Eric Wilson, Bud Gaugh and Bradley Nowell. They released their first self-produced album, 40oz. to Freedom, in 1992 via Skunk Records. Heavy radio exposure on Southern California’s KROQ (two years after its initial release) landed the band a deal with Gasoline Alley Records, an imprint of MCA. 1994’s Robbin’ the Hoodrevealed an experimental ethic more in keeping with the cut-and-paste dub than the well-tuned rage of the Cali punk revival. The album performed well at college radio and set the stage for the breakout success of their self-titled third album. On May 25, 1996, however, Bradley Nowell tragically passed away and the band collapsed, but Universal went ahead with the release of their eponymous album in July of 1996.

Their self-titled album went 5x Platinum, fueled by enduring hits like “What I Got,” “Santeria,” and “Wrong Way,” and helped propel the band to more than 18 million RIAA-certified album sales. A new era began in late 2023 when Bradley’s son, Jakob Nowell, joined original members Bud Gaugh and Eric Wilson onstage, leading to a full reunion and acclaimed performances at Coachella 2024.

2026 is shaping up to be the biggest year yet for Sublime as they celebrate the 30th anniversary of their groundbreaking 1996 self-titled album with two special nights at Morrison, CO’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre (April 17-18), marking the kickoff of a year-long celebration honoring the classic 1996 album. The Grammy Museum will be honoring the self-titled album with an exhibit titled ‘Sublime: Straight From Long Beach,’ running from March 27 – September 7, and will feature artifacts including handwritten lyrics to Sublime hits such as “Wrong Way” and “Garden Grove,” Instruments and equipment used by the original Sublime lineup, rare live photos by Maggie St. Thomas and more.

Sublime will also launch their very own touring music festival debuting May 9 at the scenic Panther Island Pavilion in Fort Worth, TX. This new event marks the beginning of a national festival series built around the timeless sound, spirit, and cultural impact of Sublime.

The band’s highly anticipated new album Until The Sun Explodes is set to be released on June 12. Sublime recently made history with the breakout single “Ensenada,” which spent 8 consecutive weeks at #1 on Billboard’s “Alternative Airplay” chart, setting the record for the longest run at #1 on alternative radio in 2025. The forthcoming album marks an exciting new chapter for Sublime while honoring the legacy that has inspired fans for more than three decades. For more, please visit www.sublimelbc.com.
