Sublime to release all-star tribute album to celebrate 20th anniversary

Sublime’s will release an all-star expanded 20th anniversary edition of Look at All the Love We Found: A Tribute to Sublime on May 9.  The compilation album will come out via Sublime Recordings in partnership with SVNBVRNT Records — the label founded by Jakob Nowell, son of the late Sublime frontman Bradley Nowell.

Jakob Nowell shared: “Sublime has always been about family first. Losing my dad was a heavy moment—not just for me, but for everyone touched by his music. What’s kept us going is the incredible love from the music community. That love is woven into every track on this tribute.”

The original 2005 release featured performances from Jack Johnson, Pennywise, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Avail, and more—all of which return for this special anniversary edition. The remastered version of the tribute includes over 30 artists paying homage to Sublime’s legacy, with eight never-before-heard tracks. Among them are Zac Brown Band’s version of “Wrong Way,” an acoustic spin on “Hope” by Descendents, G. Love & Special Sauce’s “April 29th, 1992,” and a collaboration between Slightly Stoopid and Stick Figure on “Slow Ride.”

Zac Brown shares: “Sublime was the soundtrack to my youth—their music was raw, soulful, and totally unfiltered. Covering ‘Wrong Way’ felt like a tribute to a band that shattered genre boundaries and inspired so many of us. Bradley’s energy still resonates through everything we do. It’s an honor to carry that forward.”

Drummer Bud Gaugh adds: “I absolutely love this album. It’s friends and family coming together to celebrate. Chuck D’s on there! Fishbone too! That version of ‘Date Rape’—honestly, it might even top ours.”

Jakob Nowell’s music project, Jakob’s Castle will contribute a fresh take on “Garden Grove,” and also included is a stripped-down acoustic rendition of “Ebin,” featuring Jakob alongside SVNBVRNT artists Jesse James Pariah and Zayno.

All proceeds from the album will go toward Agape Families, an Oregon-based nonprofit that supports families affected by incarceration. Pre-save Look at All the Love We Found: A Tribute to Sublime: HERE.

Billy Idol shares “Still Dancing” video off upcoming album ‘Dream Into It’

Billy Idol is gearing up for the release of his first full-length album in over a decade, titled Dream Into It, dropping on April 25th and featuring appearances by Avril Lavigne, Joan Jett, and Alison Mosshart of The Kills.

In anticipation of the forthcoming record, Idol debuted the first single from the LP “Still Dancing;” he shares of the track: “‘Still Dancing’ is really a reflection of my whole journey. From the punk rock period through to now. And I’m still looking towards the future, still living the life I set out to live. At the start of the song I’m recalling the early times in London, when I was living in squats or at friends’ apartments, all my belongings in a plastic bag. Everybody at home or work told you what you were doing was never going to happen. But punk rock gave me an opening. I was surrounded by people who loved the music as deeply as I did and you were going to throw caution to the wind, believe in what you were doing and grab on for dear life. As the song says, there have been many moments along the way where I’ve been self destructive. But what’s seen me through is that unflinching belief in the music that started all those years ago. That’s been the greatest gift of all.”

Idol will kick-off his It’s A Nice Day To… Tour Again on April 30th in Phoenix with Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, with the five-month tour set to run through September 25th in Los Angeles.

Natasha Lyonne stars in trailer for Season 2 of Peacock’s ‘Poker Face’

Natasha Lyonne returns as Charlie Cale in the Season 2 trailer for Peacock’s “mystery-of-the-week series” Poker Face, starring as a woman with a gift for identifying liars.

The actress, 46, portrays Cale as she solves various crimes as she travels in her Plymouth Barracuda. Season 2 also stars Adrienne C. Moore, Alia Shawkat, Ben Marshall, B.J. Novak, Carol Kane, Cliff “Method Man” Smith, Corey Hawkins, David Alan Grier, David Krumholtz, Davionte “GaTa” Ganter, Ego Nwodim, Gaby Hoffmann, Geraldine Viswanathan, Giancarlo Esposito, Haley Joel Osment, Jason Ritter, Justin Theroux, Kathrine Narducci, Kevin Corrigan, Kumail Nanjiani, Lauren Tom, Lili Taylor, Margo Martindale, Melanie Lynskey, Natasha Leggero, Patti Harrison, Rhea Perlman, Richard Kind, Sam Richardson, Sherry Cola, Simon Helberg, Simon Rex and Taylor Schilling.

Lyonne and Rian Johnson write, direct and executive produce the series, which Johnson created. The duo said in a statement: “To bring Season 2 to life, we pulled visual inspiration from American 70s cinema, all the stuff we love like Robert Altman, Bob Rafelson, Peter Bogdanovich. But the backbone of this show is TV – the kind of TV we grew up watching… Each episode is a mini movie, existing in its own world with a unique tone and vibe, featuring an eccentric lot of characters played by a truly gonzo parade of guest stars. We still can’t believe we got to work with rockstars like Cynthia Erivo, Katie Holmes, John Mulaney, and Awkwafina (and many, many more, the list is kinda dizzying) who all dove into the game with joy and came ready to play.”

Season 2 will have a three-episode premiere May 8 on Peacock; see the trailer: HERE.
