13 years after Sublime singer Bradley Nowell died of a heroin overdose, the Long Beach, CA ska-pop reunited and hit the stage for a performance at the Smokeout Festival in California over the weekend, with plans for a full tour in the works.

We’re curious to know what Sublime fans think about the reunion, which included an array of Sublime hits, including “What I Got.”

Spin and other sources report that Nowell’s estate is seeking to squash the reunion and prevent the remaining members from using the band name.

In the years since the frat-friendly band’s demise, numerous cover bands have cashed in on its catalog, touring the country as “tribute” bands, so maybe it’s only fair that the band’s actual members should get to join in and reclaim their own songs?

VIDEO: “Badfish.” With a new singer onboard, Sublime performs its first concert in 13 years.
