Yours Truly

“Yours Truly” is the debut album of the newly formed band Sublime With Rome. It is the first album since the original Sublime disbanded in 1996, due to lead singer and guitarist Bradley Nowell’s death; according to the liner notes, the album is dedicated to him. After the break up, its surviving members Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh reformed Sublime in 2009 almost by accident, with Rome Ramirez filling in for Nowell. However, the group were unable to use the name Sublime for legal reasons, which resulted in the birth of Sublime with Rome. After embarking on their first US tour in 2010, Sublime with Rome signed with the record label Fueled by Ramen and went to work on its first full-length studio album. Guitarist Paul Leary of Butthole Surfers, who co-produced Sublime’s eponymous final album, produced it.

As of December 2011, “Yours Truly” is the only Sublime with Rome album recorded with co-founder Bud Gaugh, who has since left the band.
