Eric Wilson is an American musician and songwriter, best known as the bassist for the influential alternative rock band Sublime. Formed in 1988 in Long Beach, California, Sublime blended elements of reggae, ska, punk, and rock, which helped define the sound of the 1990s alternative music scene. Wilson's notable works include the band's self-titled album "Sublime," released in 1996, which features iconic tracks such as "What I Got," "Santeria," and "Wrong Way." This album achieved massive commercial success and has since been certified multi-platinum. Following the death of frontman Bradley Nowell in 1996, Wilson continued to make music, eventually forming a new version of Sublime, known as Sublime with Rome, in 2009. This iteration has released albums like "Yours Truly" (2011), further extending the band's legacy. Wilson's impact on music is marked by his role in popularizing the fusion of reggae and punk rock, influencing countless artists and contributing to the rise of ska-punk in the 1990s. His work continues to resonate with fans, maintaining Sublime's status as a cultural touchstone in alternative music.
