Today, in a poignant and symbolic episode, ‘The Allison Hagendorf Show’ honors the enduring legacy of Sublime, marking 28 years since the release of their self-titled album. Host Allison Hagendorf engages in a deeply personal conversation with Jakob Nowell and Bud Gaugh, exploring the band’s past, present, and future.
The interview delves into the profound synchronicities surrounding the number 28: Sublime’s iconic self-titled album debuted 28 years ago, their recent release “Feel Like That (feat Bradley Nowell)” marks the first new studio track in 28 years, and Jakob Nowell, 28 years old at the time of this interview, reflects on his father Bradley Nowell’s passing at the same age, 28 years ago.
Addressing the loss of his father, the band’s journey and the challenges they’ve all faced, Jakob shared with Allison, “Tragedies are unpreventable, but the way we move on shows the beauty of the human spirit to push forward.”
Bud Gaugh added, “For us it’s been a season of change and healing, and I don’t think this could have happened any other time. Timing is everything. We just want [the fans] to hear the music because we still have something to say.”
