Sublime is my favorite band. I've been a Sublime fan since around 2002. If you're not familiar with them, and are open to new types of music, check them out. They don't fit neatly into one specific genre; they're a mix of punk rock, reggae, ska, alternative rock and basically all things Southern California.
You may like Sublime if:
You don't mind references to drinking, smoking MJ and the occasional reference to other types of drugs. (You certainly don't have to condone it, but you would need to tolerate it.)
You like other southern California "garage band" style music
You like: Red Hot Chili Peppers, 311, Beastie Boys, Bob Marley
You like bands that incorporate a wide variety of music genres into the same album or even into the same song.
The lead singer of Sublime, Bradley Nowell, died of a heroin overdose in 1996. Sublime is now performing again, with a new lead singer, under the name, "Sublime with Rome."
