From there, Rome will reteam with Sublime with Rome for an eagerly awaited summer tour (see itinerary below).

California born and bred singer/songwriter Rome Ramirez first began playing guitar at age 11, and, almost prophetically, many of the first songs he learned were by the famed ska punk band Sublime. Through his teenage years, Rome honed his musical chops and songwriting skills, and, in 2009, met Sublime co-founder/bassist Eric Wilson who was recording at the same studio. What started out as a jam session developed into a friendship and creative bond. Rome's first major performance as the frontman for Sublime with Rome came in October 2009 at Cypress Hill's annual Smokeout Festival in front of 20,000 fans. The following year, Rome co-wrote and provided guest vocals on SoCal reggae rock band The Dirty Heads' #1 single "Lay Me Down." In 2011, Sublime with Rome released "YOURS TRULY," the band's first full length album in over a decade. Produced by Paul Leary, "YOURS TRULY" simultaneously picked up where Sublime had left off and took their artistic vision to the next level, thanks to the fresh infusion of energy from Rome, who brought in lyrics, melodies, and music he'd written over the past few years. First single "Panic" was a top 5 Modern Rock hit, and was followed by "Take It Or Leave It" which garnered cross-country radio airplay.
