If you listen to the right radio stations, there's a good chance you heard a catchy reggae-rock song that tricked you into thinking Bradley Nowell of Sublime had come back from the dead. But alas, it was not so. Your friend turned to you and said, "No, man. This is the Dirty Heads." But actually, the band has close ties to Sublime. They were heavily influenced by Nowell's group, and have toured with Rome Ramirez's Sublime lineup.
Though the Dirty Heads were founded in 1996, they didn't release anything until 2008. Their second single, "Lay Me Down," which you probably heard on the radio, actually features Rome from Sublime, and hit No. 1 on the U.S. Alt and Rock charts. Now they're preparing to release their second studio album, "Cabin By the Sea," due out June 19. Check out the album's first single, "Spread Too Thin," and let us know if you think they're still pulling off that SoCal Sublime sound.

- nanowerx 2012/04/26 15:18:38NoRebelution, Slightly Stoopid and Stick Figure are all the spiritual successors to Sublime. Stoopid was even signed by Brad Nowell to his record label before he died. Sorry, this band is just not quite there. Not a bad track, but nowhere near Sublimes sound.reply

No, but seriously, I'm a long time fan and no EVERY word to ALL their songs! (: *i clicked the wrong button* And the two in the front with the longest hair is Jarod (Dirty J) and Dustin (Duddy B). :Dreply
- H-Dizzle 2012/04/25 21:52:01No+1They may be in the same genre of sublime...but they are not sublime and are not trying to be. I love the Dirty Heads and much props to their sound. Keep the music alive fellas!!!reply
- budgerigar42 2012/04/25 21:51:23No+1I love the song, but it doesn't really sound like Sublime. I have it on my iTunes though.reply
- Heisenberg 2012/04/25 21:28:50Yes+1Yes, they sound a bit like Sublime.reply
- Vieuphoria 2012/04/25 21:09:24NoI can hear the influence. But they don't sound like Sublime, which is better than them sounding like a carbon copy of the band. But to be honest they just sound like every other average reggae influenced pop rock band. And they certainly have any of the genre clashing, emotion and acute social commentaries that Sublime managed. It's good that they don't sound like a cheap imitation, but neither do they sound anything above average.reply

- Fergie 2012/04/25 19:33:01Yes+3They are the perfect band to tour with Sublime, and regardless of that, their songs are really catchy. Love it!
