He's not fucking Justin Bieber!

anarchypants (September 26, 2012)

This made my day.

655321 (September 26, 2012)

WTF - seriously? ha ha ha

NotSteven (September 26, 2012)

Know what's weird? I think people are actually gonna watch this guy. He'll make money off of it. I predict Sublime with Rome without Sublime will still be profitable

lookingforcorpses (September 26, 2012)

It's actually kind of genius. I wonder if, possibly, Rome was already signed or at least on the radar of a label or producer or management, and they put him together with Sublime to launch the kid's solo career. Give him a little history and "cred" so that he wasn't just another brah out there playing sunny pop songs with a reggae/ska type beat.

bastard_squad (September 26, 2012)

It's also kind of gross.

imadeanaccountjustforthis (September 26, 2012)

So, basically, you wonder if he's the dude version of Hayley Williams.

jimmynorville (September 26, 2012)

other than that she didn't reunite an already popular band and take over as lead singer and only release one album with said band and then start a solo career, yes.

lookingforcorpses (September 26, 2012)

Yeah, not really at all what I'm saying.

davebrave4 (September 27, 2012)

As much as I love paranoid conspiracy theories, I'm pretty sure this scenario is not the case.

BarleyPat (September 26, 2012)

Well, that's gotta be about the most self-indulgent thing I've heard all damn day. How bad does your taste have to be to go to this?

Amoeba (September 26, 2012)

Rome of sublime with Rome without sublime with Rome etc...

anarchypants (September 26, 2012)

Rome without Sublime.

ak3punk (September 26, 2012)

Call it a guilty pleasure, but I enjoyed the shit out of the Sublime w/ Rome album.

ollywood (September 26, 2012)

It's weird hearing him do Bradley's songs, but he does them so well and so spot on. I just have a hard time supporting any of this.

mattramone (September 26, 2012)

These are not small venues either. Fucking college kids.

flydebs (September 26, 2012)

Sainte Rocke in Hermosa Beach is insanely small

billyletters (September 26, 2012)

Surprise, the vocal minority is shitting on something.

tittus (September 26, 2012)

Everything about this is hilarious.

rwthw (September 26, 2012)

I'm hoping a sex tape is leaked so it can be called "When in Rome..."

gugl0003 (September 26, 2012)

it had better be a gay sex tape, so the title actually makes sense.

NFGPunx (September 26, 2012)

I don't know why everyone here is so negative, dude is the best singer in punk. I'd check this out if it comes near me.

bastard_squad (September 26, 2012)

rabbit (September 27, 2012)

matt caughthran!

NeverBeAMachine (September 26, 2012)

Pic is straight-up sweet, brah.

porksoda (September 26, 2012)

No one is stoked. Not even bros.

lvenice88 (September 26, 2012)

Reinventing Rome

UNTJosh (September 26, 2012)

The singer will support his 4-song EP, Dedication.

At least it should be a short show...

shned (September 27, 2012)

4 songs doesn't show a lot of dedication

boourns (September 27, 2012)

he'll play What I Got seven times

rwthw (September 27, 2012)

I sing two joints in the morning
I sing two joints at night
I sing two joints in the afternoon
It makes me feel alright
I sing two joints in time of peace and two in time of war
I sing two joints cause I forgot I sang two joints
And then i sing two more

test (September 27, 2012)

exactly. this whole 'with rome' business is just like when Elan Atias plays with the wailers and subsequently drags bob marleys corpse on stage everynight.

dude: they are not your songs, no matter how much you want to pretend you're the guy that wrote them.

NeverBeAMachine (September 28, 2012)

Blame Ashton "Familyman" Barrett for that. Last time I saw the wailers ('06, I think?), the only original members were Familyman and one of the keyboard players.

Then I saw some band called "The Original Wailers" later that year. Same songs, but the only "original" members were Junior Marvin and Al Anderson. They tried to play 1 or 2 that weren't written by Bob, which wasn't a good choice.

All in all, I agree. Don't tarnish Bob Marley's (or any other original artist's) legacy. His kids are already doing a fine job of that by supporting homophobes like Buju Banton (the Jamaican dancehall voice on "Life Won't Wait." Swell job, Rancid.).

BeerRun (September 28, 2012)

dedication to what?
