Okay, so the other day I was trying to find some music similar to Sublime, you know, that chill vibe with a mix of reggae, ska, and rock. I really dig their sound and wanted to explore more bands that give off the same feel.
I started by just remembering some bands I already knew that are kinda like them. I thought of Slightly Stoopid first. They’ve got that laid-back, beachy sound that I really enjoy. It reminds me of Sublime.
Then, I did a bit of digging around. I went on this music website and typed in “Sublime.” It came up with a bunch of suggestions, like a “sounds like” feature. It was pretty cool. I saw a band called the Long Beach Dub Allstars. Turns out, they formed in 1997 and are also from Long Beach, California, just like Sublime. I figured they must have a similar vibe, coming from the same place and all. I gave them a listen, and yeah, they definitely have some of that Sublime feel.
I also found a site where people vote on bands they think are similar to their favorites. So, I searched for “Sublime” there, too. It was a whole list of bands. People were saying, “If you like Sublime, you should check out these guys.” Pretty handy, right?
I scrolled through a bunch of names. Some I recognized, some were totally new to me. I found out about a song “Wild Girls“, the song name sounds interesting. I decided to add it to my playlist to check it out later.
Another site I used, it shows you a map of similar artists. It’s like, the closer two bands are on the map, the more similar they supposedly are. It’s a neat way to visualize it. I spent a good chunk of time just clicking around and discovering new stuff. It said there are like 95 artists with music similar to Sublime! That’s a lot to explore. Also, I found another site that lets you scrobble songs, you know, like track what you listen to. Then it gives you recommendations based on that. I didn’t actually use that feature, but it seemed interesting.
So yeah, that’s how I spent my afternoon – diving deep into the world of music similar to Sublime. It was a fun little adventure, and I ended up finding some cool new bands to add to my rotation.
