The phenomenon known as Sublime, arguably the most energetic, original and uniquely eclectic band to emerge from any scene, anywhere, ended with the untimely death of lead singer, guitarist and songwriter Brad Nowell in May of 1996. But encompassing the sense of place and purpose long associated with Sublime’s music, Badfish, a Tribute to Sublime continues to channel the spirit of Sublime with a fury not felt for some time. What separates Badfish from other tribute bands is that they have replicated Sublime’s essence, developing a scene and dedicated following most commonly reserved for label-driven, mainstream acts. Badfish make their mark on the audience by playing with the spirit of Sublime. They perform not as Sublime would have, or did, but as Badfish does!

As if the original band wasn't bad enough.

NJSkaStomp and I finally agree on something. Shut the boards down.

So, you're a band that is just stealing Sublime's.. 'original' and 'unique' music? Sounds pretty f*ck lame to me. Why not write your own music, push the envelope - or at least write a few songs and do Sublime covers? How much do they pay you to steal other people's music at shows? I wish stupid tribute bands had to pay performance rights fees themselves instead of the clubs and venues.

"arguably the most energetic, original and uniquely eclectic band to emerge from any scene, anywhere" - Who argues this?

I know i'm not the nicest person on this board but holy shit.
