The newly-reunited Sublime have followed up their performance at Coachella with the release of their first new song in 28 years. “Feel Like That,” a collaborative release with Stick Figure featuring vocals from late frontman, Bradley Nowell, and his son and current frontman, Jakob.
“Feel Like That” was born out of a 1996 jam session between Bradley and Sublime’s bassist Eric Wilson and drummer Bud Gaugh at Willie Nelson’s Pedernales Studio in Austin, Texas. Performing a half-improvised song — later dubbed “Eireen” by bootleggers — Bradley sang the refrain “let me tell you why I feel like that.” Now, nearly three decades later, that refrain has become the bedrock of “Feel Like That.”
