The feeling is real. You know, the family vibe. It\u2019s 100 percent real and genuine. And it\u2019s just great being out there playing music with my brother Eric again.

Jakob had earlier writing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-features\/sublime-new-album-jakob-nowell-travis-barker-biopic-1235303396\/\">sessions <\/a>with Travis Barker and John Feldmann, but he clarifies that no songs from those collaborations are set for the album. Instead, the band wrote the album \u2014\u00a0tentatively set for a December release \u2014 with Jakob\u2019s longtime collaborator Zane Vandevort and producer John Joseph. Gaugh, meanwhile, assures fans that the album will touch on the band\u2019s punk side, not just the reggae that the singles have emphasized.<\/p>\n<section class=\"brands-most-popular \/\/ recirculation-modules trending-in-article lrv-u-margin-tb-2 lrv-u-border-a-2 u-box-shadow-5-5 lrv-u-padding-lr-1 a-span1 u-padding-b-1@tablet u-overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 id=\"section-heading\" class=\"c-heading larva  lrv-u-text-align-center u-border-color-black a-font-theme-primary-xxs lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase u-letter-spacing-0063 lrv-u-padding-t-050 u-padding-b-0375@tablet lrv-u-padding-b-050@mobile-max lrv-u-border-b-2\">\n<p>\t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"brands-most-popular \/\/ editors-pick-module lrv-u-margin-tb-2 lrv-u-border-a-2 u-box-shadow-5-5 lrv-u-padding-lr-1 a-span1 u-padding-b-1@tablet u-overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 id=\"section-heading\" class=\"c-heading larva  lrv-u-text-align-center u-border-color-black a-font-theme-primary-xxs lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase u-letter-spacing-0063 lrv-u-padding-t-050 u-padding-b-0375@tablet lrv-u-padding-b-050@mobile-max lrv-u-border-b-2\">\n<p>\t\tEditor\u2019s picks<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t\u201cPersonally I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll ever do another Sublime record,\u201d says Jakob, who also fronts his own band, Jakobs Castle.\u00a0 \u201cThis is it for me. This closes a big chapter in my life, my struggle and journey with who I am and my own authenticity \u2014\u00a0 dealing with where I come from and in relationship to my father and his music and the work that they\u2019ve done.\u201d He expects to tour heavily for two years or so in the wake of the album, and then to taper down work with Sublime. Afterwards, he plans to focus on his own music and his burgeoning record label, Svn\/Bvrnt Records, which he hopes will spotlight bands that carry on Sublime\u2019s tradition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tIn the meantime, the band is gearing up for a major homecoming show when they play the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-features\/vans-warped-tour-2025-kevin-lyman-1235131851\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-features\/vans-warped-tour-2025-kevin-lyman-1235131851\/\">Warped Tour<\/a> July 26 in Long Beach, California. \u201cAll my homies and friends and family are gonna be there,\u201d says Gaugh. \u201cIt\u2019s gonna be nuts.
