Amazon.com Ska music has been deeply ingrained in the punk rock culture since the Clash adopted their rude boy stance near the end of the British punk invasion and the 2-Tone label put ska on the map. Suddenly, punks stopped kicking the crap out of each other long enough to dance. The debut release by Orange County, California's Sublime is a positively infectious record that marries varied styles of dub, reggae, rap, sampling, scratching, and badass dancehall ska with old-school punk overtones. Musicianship on this record is exceptionally tight, featuring Brad Nowell's innovative guitar work and bright, soulful voice. Packed with 40 oz. of rock (21 tracks) including the ultimate pot-smoking anthem "Smoke Two Joints" and the novelty hit "Date Rape." --Gail Worley Product Description Blending a love of dancehall and rock-steady reggae rhythms with an aggressive punk ethos, Sublime amassed a nearly fanatical following across America, especially in the surf/skate communities. Their indie debut album is now considered a cult classic, spending nearly 70 weeks on Soundscan Alternative New Artist Albums Chart (more than half of that time in the Top 20). It hung out for 5 weeks on Billboard's Heatseeker chart and the edgy single, "Date Rape," was the #1 requested song for over 20 weeks in '95 on L.A.'s KROQ.
