Estate of Bradley Nowell Issues Statement And Legal Action

The family of deceased Sublime singer Bradley Nowell have announced they do not support the continuation of a band named "Sublime" containing Bud and Eric and have requested legal action. The family cites Brad's wishes as the reason for not supporting the new line-up:

“It was recently announced that Sublime bassist Eric Wilson and Sublime drummer Floyd ‘Bud’ Gaugh are ‘reuniting’ and teaming with singer and guitarist Rome Ramirez in a band they intend to call ‘Sublime.’ Prior to his untimely passing, both Bud and Eric acknowledged that Brad Nowell was the sole owner of the name Sublime. It was Brad’s expressed intention that no one use the name Sublime in any group that did not include him, and Brad even registered the trademark ‘Sublime’ under his own name.
