Less than a year has passed since Sublime With Rome released their debut album, but apparently is already beginning work on new material.
Last Friday, the band alluded to what may or may not be new material for a second album via their official website, writing: "Chillin working in the studio in Miami." They have also posted three pictures of guitarist/vocalist Rome Ramirez jamming in the studio. No further more details have surfaced so far.
"
Yours Truly" was released last July on Fueled By Ramen Records. It marks the first album since
Sublime disbanded in 1996, after lead singer and guitarist
Bradley Nowell died earlier that year. "Yours Truly", which is a tribute dedication to Nowell, met with critical acclaim at the time of its release and received mostly positive reviews. Despite the success, the album has been heavily criticized by fans and critics due to the absence of Nowell and the musical direction.
Its surviving members Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh did try to reform Sublime in 2009 with Ramirez as Nowell's replacement for a new album and tour, but had to abandon the attempt after a Los Angeles judge banned them from using the Sublime name. Nowell had reportedly owned rights to the Sublime name, and the surviving memembers were not allowed to use it without approval and permission from his estate. After this case was settled, Sublime officially became Sublime With Rome.
