The son of legendary frontman Bradley Nowell took the stage at KROQ to perform the band’s latest single, “Ensenada,” offering a raw and stripped-down rendition that’s already making waves across social media.
Jakob’s performance is more than just a nod to his roots—it’s a reinvention. His voice carries echoes of his father’s iconic style, but he delivers it with his own grit and presence. Paired with guitarist Zayno, the acoustic session kept things simple but deeply impactful. With just vocals and guitar, they let the songwriting shine through.
“Ensenada” blends the familiar California reggae-punk vibe that fans know and love, while also exploring new ground. There’s a laid-back confidence in the performance, grounded in Sublime’s signature sound but clearly moving forward.
Since airing, the live video has been picked up by KROQ’s YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok channels, quickly racking up thousands of views and shares. The comment sections are full of fans celebrating Jakob’s ability to honor Sublime’s history while adding his own fire to the flame.
Clips of the performance have sparked excitement not only about the song itself but also about what this version of Sublime has in store. It’s clear the audience is ready for more—and “Ensenada” is just the beginning.
